When taking care of kittens, the owner needs to be very careful. If it is a weaned kitten, it is easier to take care of. At this time, the kitten will take the initiative to eat and go to the toilet, and the physical resistance will be better. If it is a kitten that has not been weaned, it needs the owner's care in all aspects, especially how to take on the role of a cat mother and feed the kitten.

In most cases, it is the kitten that leaves the mother cat prematurely, so it needs the care of the owner. If this is the case, it is recommended that you feed the kitten with goat milk. There are many goat milk powders for kittens, you can buy them directly from pet stores based on user reviews, but it is worth noting that owners must not feed kittens to drink milk. Milk is not conducive to the digestion and absorption of cats, and is not good for small milk cats.

You need a suitable feeding bottle. The nipples of commercially available baby bottles usually do not have holes. You can heat a needle with an appropriate size and poke a hole in the nipple, or use small scissors to cut a cross hole. A hole that is too small can make it difficult for the kitten to get alternative milk, while a hole that is too large increases the risk of aspiration pneumonia. The size of the nipple hole is mainly based on the size of 1 drop that can flow out by light pressure on the bottle, and then adjust the size of the hole according to the condition of the kitten sucking milk.

Using a bottle is more suitable for kittens who are energetic and have a strong sucking reflex. However, weak or sick kittens do not have the strength to suck, so it is better to use a feeding tube to feed them. The choice of feeding tube is best to use a dropper or a syringe, and a 2 cm plastic tube is sleeved on the syringe, so that the milk can be fed into the mouth of the kitten.

Secondly, it is good to feed the kitten every two hours or so. It’s okay to feed several times a day, but don’t feed too much at a time. Try to keep the kitten on a small and frequent diet, which will help the cat grow.

It is really not easy to take care of a kitten. The little life that comes to this world for the first time is very fragile and needs the careful care of the owner.
