Feeding your kittens after birth is pretty simple when the mother cat is around. The mother takes over and starts nursing almost right away. However, have you thought about what to feed your kittens when the weaning process starts? Weaning begins around three to four weeks of ages. At this time you will most likely want to start offering the kittens a milk replacer or equivalent. Check with your vet. Start by placing it in a bowl and leading the kittens to the bowl. You may need to dip your finger into the bowl and then let the milk drip into the kitten’s mouth to get the idea. During this time you can also add a little dry food to the milk. The food will moisten up for easy eating and help introduce the kittens to solids. Talk with your animal hospital Aurora, CO about the kind of regular cat food to feed your kittens.
