For a period of time after birth, kittens mainly maintain their growth through breastfeeding. When the cat grows to 1 month old or 1 and a half months old, it can begin to gradually wean. Most cats will be successfully weaned by the time they are 2 months old. During the weaning period of cats, owners should pay more attention to the feeding and care methods. Because the cat's body is particularly fragile at this time, any changes in the environment and diet may cause the cat to become physically ill, which will have a great impact on the cat's growth. ​​​​​​

First of all, weaning kittens should be done step by step. While gradually reducing the amount of milk, the cat should be given enough time to adapt to new cat food and other foods. The cat food that owners choose for their kittens should be professional kitten food, and it should be soaked in warm water until soft before feeding to cats. Avoid excessively hard cat food that may burden the kitten’s gastrointestinal digestion and affect its physical growth. When feeding cat food for the first time, you should choose a small portion to familiarize the kitten with the taste of cat food and let it slowly accept cat food and other foods.

As the weaning cycle prolongs, the owner can also prepare a small amount of meat food for the kitten, such as chicken breast cooked in plain water, etc., tear the meat into small pieces and give it to the cat. . The food prepared for cats should be rich in nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and calcium. It is necessary to avoid choosing high-fat foods for kittens to avoid gastrointestinal digestion burden on cats and to avoid obesity.

During the weaning period of kittens, owners should not bathe the kitten casually. Bathing time should wait until 2 weeks after the cat is successfully weaned and vaccinated. At this time, the kitten's body has produced antibodies that can resist the stimulation of the external environment and will not get sick easily. Therefore, the owner can give the cat a bath and clean it.
