How long does it take for a kitten to be weaned from feeding on cat food? Let’s take a look at what the editor has to share today.

Kittens can start to be weaned when they are 1 to 2 months old and slowly feed them cat food.

However, it should be noted that newly weaned kittens must be fed special cat food for kittens, and when feeding, they must first be softened with milk powder and water, which can reduce the irritation of cat food to the cat's gastrointestinal tract. When the cat's stomach and intestines gradually adapt to the cat food, the cat can be allowed to eat all the cat food, which will take about a week.

When feeding cat food later, you don’t need to add milk powder and soak it in water, but you still need to soak the cat food in water because the kitten’s teeth and intestines are still very fragile. Kittens should be fed regularly and quantitatively every day, with small meals and frequent meals. Usually, kittens need to eat 5 to 6 times a day. After the kittens are 6 months old, the number of feedings can be gradually reduced.

So how do you wean a kitten?

The first is to reduce the contact between the kitten and the mother cat, but it cannot be completely isolated, because weaning is a step-by-step process. The second is to apply some smell that the cat does not like on the nipples of the mother cat. , so the kitten hates drinking milk.
