You could stick a little egg on top for good measure. Good advice. You could also try a different brand. Wellness makes a good canned kitten food. No, they don't. How old is the kitten? It may still need KMR... We raised several healthy orphan kittens from about 1 week of age. We started offering some wet canned food at about 5 weeks of age but still supplemented KMR. We never totally weaned off KMR until 8 weeks. Weanling kits got only canned food and maybe some low salt canned tuna in water and they usually freaked over that, :-) but that is just a treat as it was incomplete in nutrition. Also chopped steamed chicken and stuff. Their primary diet between 5 and 8 weeks of age was a good quality canned food supplemented with KMR. They never got interested in dry food until they were about 10 to 12 weeks. Since we leave kibbles down for the adults, they found it on their own and decided to eat it when THEY wanted to.

wrote in message . .. we got this new kitten last weekend., she turned her nose up at the dry cat food and the canned, we tried those first because that was what we had handy in the house. Now we bought her purina one kitten formula and she will not touch that either. she sniffs then walks away. Oh but if you scramble eggs she is in your lap an ready to eat. HELP shes drinking but not eating and I am afraid she will get sick if she doesn't soon. Try offering your kitten Hill's Kitten (formerly Feline Growth) canned food. We've fed Hills kitten food to several hundred kittens - they thrived on it and I don't think I've ever seen a kitten refuse it! We've also fed Hills Kitten to pregnant and nursing queens and debilitated and recuperating cats with excellent results. Phil. |

His siblings have been eating dry for the last month. Remove TIE to reply. |
