Kittens can start weaning one month after they are born. By that time, the kittens’ digestive and excretory functions are basically fully developed.

Kittens will begin to wean themselves off solid food in the fifth week and become independent. At this time, the cat's sense of balance has developed and it fully understands grooming. This is a period when cats must learn to understand themselves and other animals. ​​​​​​

Newborn kittens are covered with fur and their eyes are closed. They usually don’t open their eyes until around nine days old. During this time, the cat relies entirely on its sense of smell and tentacles to identify the mother cat and its siblings. Female cats give birth to only one litter per litter, up to 6 and at least 1 to 2. There must be a weak kitten in a litter, and the owner must help him get breast milk. Especially in the first three days, there cannot be a shortage of milk.

Cats begin to grow teeth in the second week after birth, and can eat some solid food in the third week, and then gradually eat the same food as the female cat. Generally, weaning can be done by the sixth week.

If for some reason the cat must be weaned early, milk should be supplemented at three weeks of age, and an appropriate amount of vitamins A, D or cod liver oil should be added to the milk. Starting from the fourth week of age, you can add some steamed buns, rice and minced meat or hard-boiled eggs. Feed 5 to 6 times a day, but not too much each time. If there is leftover food, it means you have given too much, and you should reduce it next time. Don’t let your cat get into the habit of leftover food. After two months of age, the dog can be fed three or twice a day. At ten months old, only feed 1 to 2 times a day.
