How do you feed a 6 week old kitten?

Question

i hav sum stray kittens and their mother died and i dnt kno how to feed them when i put cat milk down in a saucer some eat others want instead they l**k it off their paws or off the floor and it makes a mess EVERYWHERE

Answer 1

I think at 6 weeks they should be fine to start them on some dry/wet food.

Answer 2

Don't worry about the ones that eat, they will be fine.As for the ones that won't.Go to your local pet store, (I know Pet Smart carries it), and get a kit for abandoned kittens.It has a special formula for young kittens, and a bottle for feeding.I had to feed a very tiny kitten this way that my mother cat left at my front door.It was no more than 4", and it's siblings were normal size at about 8 weeks.It gained weight quickly, but was always very petite.Yours should soon be eating on their own.They might take canned food better at first.

Answer 3

wet food

Answer 4

Try them with some kitten food, You will have to put some in the mouths and try and feed them as they wont be used to eating.
