Question

How do you get a cat off the bottle?

Answer 1

Start weaning them when they're about 4 and a half weeks old.

Start with canned cat food or meat baby food.  It needs to be a thin paste.

Mix it with the formula you're feeding in the bottle.

Put a tiny bit on your finger and put it on the kitten's tongue.  When the kitten starts lapping it off your finger, show him a shallow plate of food.  Usually, they catch on quick.

Over time, they'll start taking kibble.  Usually by 6-8 weeks.

Answer 2

you do not.  you keep it on your counter, like bonsai kitty.

Answer 3

take it to aa meetings

Answer 4

Start by adding the formula to dry or semi-dry food, and slowly decrease the formula every day.  

It's a personal (and your vet) decision whether to put the kitten on dry or wet food.  

Answer 5

You don't want to mess th digestive system up to much. So slowly introduce her to wet cat food then dry cat food.
