My 5 week old kitten that has been bottle fed since birth is not interested in wet food at all. I give her milk mixed with wet food in the bottle and she loves it but she won’t eat it out of a bowl or of my finger. Even when I put a little in her mouth she doesn’t want it. Any tips?
i need help. my kitten doesn't suck from dropper, and tends to nurse/suckle from her blanket. she refuse to nurse from the dropper, how can i make her eat from the dropper? 😭
I need help. My 4 1/2 week kitten now eats her wet food easily and properly on her own, but she has yet to drink any water from her shallow water bowl thats connected to the food one. She has been eating her wet food for days now, but no activity on her water bowl. I don't want her to dehydrate, not sure how to make her drink it. Can anyone help with some tips?
my cat absolutely will not latch onto a nipple. I have no idea what to do. i've tried every nipple possible. I need help getting him some food. He is right at 4 weeks and his teeth are coming in
I just found a 6 week old kitten and I'm learning how to feed her correctly. Your videos are gold. Thank you!
literally been going insane trying to get this kitten to eat anything. I will try this asap thanks
I had someone that sold me a kitten then told me its almost 6 weeks but eating only dry solid food. The poor thing was constipated. I started giving her some wet food it helped her potty but at 6 weeks should i be giving her a milk substitute? I have never had a kitten this young.
This method works well. I been feeding him slurry for a few days but he still won't eat by himself. Today he found some butter my other cat ate on a small plate and started licking it, so I quickly replaced it with wet food and he ate the whole thing. I have to give you credit but the butter is the MVP, they can't say no to it.
Gonna try this tomorrow. Your video´s are a lifesaver
How much should you feed 4-5 week old weening kittens (with the momma cat still present)? I offer them the slurry in a shallow bowl and they love it, but I don’t know how much or how often I should be offering them the “slurry dish”
I've done all this, and my 6-week-old girl will just chew the bottle but try to suckle the kitten food. She's hungry but won't eat anything unless I force it. She has been to the vet and my vet said to stop the formula altogether. Basically, let her figure it out, but she's losing weight and I am scared.
We call this chicken milk
ty
I followed different ways to wean from the bottle I also made slurry all the time he takes it from the bottle but on my finger or a shallow dish no. I even wait a bit prior to getting the bottle and he refuses my finger or bowl
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS. I have an orphan kitten that started eating wet/milk at 5 weeks. I’m so glad to see your method to ween her into the bowl
my problem is my girl kitten started suckling on her brother's genitalia after i started the weaning … how do i stop this? 😅
😍
I have stray kittens they are about 10 weeks old and are still nursing on the mother. The mother cat is so skinny my mother thinks she will die. Besides being skinny, she shows no signs of other illnesses or fatigue. My mother thinks she may have worms, so we're about to get some dewormer to put into their water and hope that does the trick. They also have flees, but the kittens are the only ones we can actually hold, so once they get old enough, we are gonna put flee collars on them
WEAN 👹
You are so helpful. Thank you for your videos.
Your video helped me a ton! We were so lost and so unsuccessful with weining! My little one just ate solids with milk today in a saucer! Struggling little bit with suckling. Instead of lapping, he goes nose deep! I'd appreciate if you could tell me how to introduce water to the weining babies that are not so great at it! Thanks again for all your lovely videos!
Your tattoos suck!
I found a 3 day old kitten back in the first week of April, and I've been watching your videos to help guide him through these early stages of life. Weaning took a little longer than I would've liked, but we are there now. There's a lot of diarrhea in my life right now, though, that stops right?
She ain’t joking abt the mess if u use a dish, I was very new to it, gave them a dish now they have wet food everywhere…
We have adopted two kittens that were abandoned at birth. They were still wet when we found them. No, mom was not coming back. We intervened when it was apparent that the kittens were failing. I just wanted to share that I am so thankful to have found the Kitten Lady. Thanks for helping our babies prosper. Our vet was actually impressed and that is not normal. LOL
How many times a day should the 4-5 week old kitten get fed the slurry? And should we offer straight formula in between?
thanks thats very informative. just saved a 3 weeks old kitten and will proceed as you advise. I already know I will miss the bottle feeding though… :/
Thank you 🙏❤️I found a box of kitten thrown on the side of the road and I saved them. They were probably about three week old. It’s Been hard work but well worth it for these precious babies your video has helped so much🥰✨I am starting the weaning process as I speak🥰❤️
