Recently, I have received a lot of questions about kitten feeding, so I have sorted out some of the questions that people ask me the most. Remember to save them as favorites. I hope it can help everyone.

The first question is how old can a kitten eat cat food?

When a cat is less than two months old, I suggest that it should mainly be breastfed. However, if it is a special situation, such as an adopted stray cat, or it left the mother cat early and cannot breastfeed, then I It is also recommended that cats should not start eating dry food before at least one and a half months.

At this time, we can feed it some food that is easier to digest, such as canned cat food, wet food, or if it is not possible, soak the dry food until soft. Generally speaking, after three months, you will gradually start to try to feed the cat some small particles of kitten food. ​

Second question, how old can a kitten take a bath?

This is also a question that everyone asks a lot. Generally speaking, cats should receive the first dose of vaccine when they are about eight weeks old, the second dose of vaccine around 12 weeks old, and the third dose of vaccine around 16 weeks old. After the vaccination, you need to observe it for another week or so. At this time, the cat's overall antibody situation is still relatively stable, so I suggest that it is best not to give the cat at least four months before the vaccine is completely completed. bath. ​

The third question, do kittens need to be quarantined when brought home?

In fact, when you bring a kitten home, you not only need to be quarantined, but also need to undergo a physical examination. For example, if you have Aboriginal people in your home, it is best to have as detailed a physical examination as possible before bringing the cat home. In addition to routine For example, for feline distemper, in addition to routine blood tests, feline AIDS and leukemia tests are done.

But if this is the first cat you bring home, we can actually do routine testing. Also, after checking to ensure that our Piggy and Luke were healthy, I still asked them to be isolated from the aboriginal people for at least two weeks. In addition to considering health issues, I also asked them to stay in isolation for at least two weeks.

Also, you need to give the aborigines and new residents an adaptation process, which not only avoids stress reactions, but also allows them to have a gradual adaptation process to contact each other, so as to avoid the deterioration of their relationship in the future. ​

The fourth question, how to teach cats to use cat litter?

In fact, judging from my experience in raising cats for so many years, most cats will actually learn to use cat litter naturally in an environment where they feel relatively safe. Of course, our cat litter selection at this time It is also more important. It is best for us to choose the kind of cat litter that feels better on the feet. I have done tests before.Try it, cats really like bentonite cat litter better. ​

The fifth question, what should I do if a kitten bites me?

There are basically two reasons for this. The first reason is that it is growing teeth, or it is a playful attack. The bite will not be very forceful, but we still have to pay attention. For example, never tease it with your hands and feet. Cats, because once they get used to it, they will treat your hand like a moving prey.

We can use a longer cat-teasing stick to tease the cat, or throw a ball. I would like to remind everyone here that you must not hit or scold your cat when it nibbles you, because hitting and scolding will not only lead to the deterioration of your relationship, but will lead to the deterioration of your relationship. ​

In addition, regarding a bad behavior of kittens, this involves socialization training of cats. Generally speaking, one to three months of age is the best time for socialization training of kittens.
