How do you let a motherless kitten who is over a month old and has been fed only Brinta oatmeal eat Purina Cat Chow?

In: Cat Maintenance [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

No kitten should be fed a diet of strictly oatmeal! Cats are carnivores and need meat protein as the major part of their diets. Get Royal Canin Babycat dry food for the kitten. The kibbles are tiny enough for baby kittens to chew. Keep a bowl of this available for the kitten at all times, along with a bowl of fresh water. Also, buy some Wellness canned kitten food and feed one rounded tablespoonful about 3 times a day on a small plate or saucer. When the kitten is about 8 weeks of age, replace the Royal Canin Babycat food with Wellness Healthy Kitten. (Wellness pet foods do not contain corn or wheat. They are specially made with human-grade meat.) Nikki the Kittylady
