Cats are mammals. They have been growing up on breast milk since they were born. However, as cats grow up day by day, it is definitely unrealistic to continue to eat breast milk. So, do you know the best age for weaning kittens? ​​​​​​

When cats are just born, they obtain the nutrients and energy needed for body growth through lactation. Newly born kittens have underdeveloped bodies, no teeth, and weak gastrointestinal functions. They have many restrictions and requirements on diet.

Under normal circumstances, kittens will begin to wean when they are 1-2 months old. If parents choose to use cat food to feed their pet cats, they must use cat food to feed the cat when it is weaned. However, it is worth noting that newly weaned cats cannot eat kitten food directly. Cat food should be soaked in warm water for 15-20 minutes before feeding. If the cat needs to be fed milk powder, the soaked cat food can be mixed with the milk powder and then eaten by the kitten.

There are several ways to wean pet cats. Under normal circumstances, parents will choose a step-by-step approach. That is to say, gradually reduce the amount of breastfeeding of the cat, and at the same time, gradually increase the amount of cat food fed. Over a period of 7-10 days, slowly wean the cat and let it develop the habit of eating cat food. Allowing pet cats to complete weaning within a period of time can better give the cat's stomach time to adapt to new foods, and can better avoid problems such as gastrointestinal indigestion.
