How old can a kitten be weaned

When the kitten reaches the age of 1 month or 1.5 months, it can be gradually weaned, so as to reduce the contact with the mother and smear the nipples with a smell they do not like. Kittens who want to be weaned generally need to choose a step-by-step method, and slowly reduce their milk production, and then slowly eat a little cat food. Don't eat too much at first, and then slowly increase it later. In about 7 to 10 days, they should be weaned slowly and eat cat food to develop good habits.

Breastfeeding should be carried out within a week to allow the intestines and stomach to quickly adapt to new foods and avoid indigestion. Then soak the cat food or milk cake in warm water until soft, and feed it regularly and quantitatively every day, with small meals and frequent meals. Try not to feed your cat wet food as it can have an impact on tooth development. Kittens usually eat 5 to 6 times a day, 4 times a day for about 2 months.

When a cat is two to five months old, its body grows faster and requires more energy and nutrients. It should also be noted that during this period, its gastrointestinal function is weak, so it is best to eat less, and you can eat less and more meals. In fact, a kitten is like a baby. The owner needs to pay more attention to taking care of it and feed it promptly when it is hungry.
