Like wet cat food. How many months? And whats a one month old kitten eat or drink?

Kitten, senior, adult… it matters not, it’s just a marketing label that allows manufacturers to charge more for that particular food. For example… you pick up a can of Wellness kitten (chicken) and a can of Wellness Chicken) adult. Compare the percentages. The kitten food has 1% more protein and 1% more fat, which is what all kitten food manufacturers tout that growing kittens need more of. Well then where is it, because 1% is certainly not worth noting any comparable difference? And it’s like that across the board. Dry cat food has even LESS of a difference. The main objective when feeding kittens is to feed more of a high quality food, more times per day because they burn it so fast even when they are doing nothing because they are growing. Kittens pretty much need to eat as much as they want… whenever they want it. Kittens don’t need “kitten” food. Mother Nature did not make “kitten” mice and “adult” mice and “senior” mice. It’s the same mouse. The only difference is how much each cat needs to eat daily to thrive. Cats were never meant to eat dry food, also known as cereals or kibble. We, humans, make them eat it for convenience to us. It has nothing to do with them or their nutritional needs. Its completely species inappropriate. All small domestic cats descended from desert cats. In the wild, desert cats derive their entire liquid intake from their prey. They do not have a thirst mechanism because they dont need it when eating a species appropriate diet. They get all they need from what they eat. Additionally water was usually not available to them in their desert climate. So they do not often drink water. Regular ol house cats have descended from those same wild desert cats. So in a home environment, your kitty does not get the moisture it needs from dry food and it’s almost always in a constant state of dehydration. Water fountains are encouraged to TRY to get your cat to drink more and your kitty may even enjoy it, but it will never meet its water intake needs drinking from a bowl. Deadly feline illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, allergies, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), constipation, bladder stones, kidney stones, urinary tract blockages and Urinary Tract Infections (FLUTD), with and without deadly crystals run rampant these days. Cats are not taking in enough water to stave them off. Proper water intake through a species appropriate diet alone can prevent most of these conditions. Overall, wet is all around better for any cats diet, be it canned or Raw and they should never be fed dry cereal kibble if we wish to most closely match their wild nutritional and dietary needs. Kibble meets our needs… not our cats. I recommend varying the diet with a constant rotation of 2 to 4 different brands of canned foods that your cat enjoys. If you do this, and allow your cat the same assortment they would have in nature when eating mice, bugs, birds and rabbits, your cat’s digestive system wont be so sensitive and you wont have to run around looking for a specific brand when your store is out. You will have a nice variety to choose from instead. Canned foods I recommend you consider for your rotation: Natures Variety - http://www. naturesvariety. com/content. la… Wellness Grain Free Formula’s - http://www. wellnesspetfood. com/cat_welln…By Nature Organics - http://www. bynaturepetfoods. com/productp… Organix - http://www. castorpolluxpet. com/store/org… Evangers Holistic Pheasant - http://www. evangersdogfood. com/cat/20089… Evangers Organic Braised Chicken - http://www. evangersdogfood. com/cat/50103… Evangers Turkey Butternut Squash - http://www. evangersdogfood. com/cat/50111…

If the kitten does not have their mother than kitten replacement formula is the best thing to feed it..You can start weening kittens to cat food around 6 wks or so but shouls still get formula for the nutrition up to 8 wks

At 3 weeks, you can start giving then canned food.

Months 1-6 During these first six months I recommend that your mommy feed you 2 to 3 times a day. Given your age of 8 weeks you should be completely weaned and comfortable eating dry or wet food. I am partial to dry for the general dental benefits and recommend using warm water to help make your dry food softer (at first). Your mommy should be aware that as a kitten you are likely to eat your meals in little bits. She should not be too concerned if you just approach your food, sniff it quickly and then eats just a bit. More than likely she will see you return at various intervals to eat more. Being a little kitten noise, commotion and your new surroundings are likely to cause you to stop eating so if possible have her keep it quiet during your meals! # Months 6-12 Once you reach 6 months of age, you should be fed twice a day if you are on a canned, soft-moist, or moistened dry food diet. I believe that dry food is better because it can be left out for you without danger of it spoiling. It is generally worthwhile to use the amounts recommended on the packages of the food you have. However, be sure to use it as a guide and have your mommy adjust it as necessary. So in answer to your question, if your mommy sees you getting fat, have her cut back a little bit. However, be aware that if you are well exercised you might need more food.

Kittens should get formula until 6 weeks as stated previously, then they should get dry kitten food. You can transition by putting formula on the food. They can be switched to adult dry food at 1 year old. I recommend feeding moist food only as an occasional thing, since it doesnt have as much nutritional value as dry food and isnt as good for their teeth.

As long as she has teeth can food is ok try the paste kind with less chewing or you can soak dry food in water until poofs up and becomes soft they will eat that too.

My cat was throwing up adult cat food when he was 6 weeks old...we found a wet food formula for kittens [tuna, chicken, the usuals too]and fed that to him until around 6 months. You could probably feed the cat adult wet food way before then, but my family was making sure. He liked the kitten food a lot, also. Month-old kittens can drink water, but since its so young you might want to run to somewhere like petsmart and pick up kitten milk formula to put in a bottle. If you think it can drink on its own, there is cat milk for regular cats [I think whiskas] and you simply pour a little in a saucer [I spread some out on a glass plate thats slightly caved in and my cat licks all over the plate]Good luck! The kitten must be a darling! :)

They should be 5 - 6 weeks before eating solid food...PLEASE HAVE YOUR MOMMA KITTY SPAYED AS SOON AS THE KITTENS ARE WEANED! good luck
