Methods to induce lactation in female cats:

1. You can feed female cats protein-rich foods such as crucian carp soup, bone soup, shrimp, beef soup, goat milk powder, etc. All can help female cats produce milk, but do not feed pig liver and other milk-replenishing foods.

2. You can also take the female cat to the pet hospital for injection of oxytocin, and use hormone treatment to induce lactation. If there is still no milk, the owner needs to feed the kitten with goat milk powder specially designed for pets. Mix it with hot water and then feed it in small amounts many times to avoid indigestion.

Methods for artificial feeding of kittens:

1. Prepare goat milk powder specifically for pets. The ingredients of goat milk powder are closest to those of female cats’ breast milk. Never use milk, because kittens cannot digest the lactose in milk, and drinking milk will cause diarrhea. If you haven’t bought special milk powder yet, you can use Shuhua milk for emergency first. When feeding kittens, follow the principle of small meals and frequent meals.

2. Prepare a special bottle for pet feeding, warm the prepared goat milk, and then tilt the newborn kitten's body upwards with its belly facing down, imitating the milk cat in the mother cat's arms. Suction position, or put the kitten prone on your lap to feed, this will make it less likely to choke.

3. Then use your fingers to gently pinch the kitten’s lower jaw and slightly let the kitten open its mouth and put the pacifier into its mouth. The kitten usually sucks by itself. Feed in small amounts and often.

4. Kittens need artificial stimulation to urinate and defecate. Gently wipe the kitten's genitals with a cotton swab to promote urination and defecation. This should be done every day after feeding.
