@fuaijie It will take some getting use to but you have to give your kitten patience. Have you put the warm milk in the bowl? The kitten will usually pop their head over the bowl to sniff it and if it’s hungry it’ll drink from the bowl. You can also try applying a little of the canned food to the milk or put some hard food in the milk to see if it’ll like it. If that doesn’t work then see your vet to see what they can do about that.
@cryssiee101 Mine wasn’t interested in her bottle anymore but won’t drink from the bowl. I’m really confused what to do at this point
Meow meow 0:03 lol awhhh
i want kitten <3
I’m weening my 4 week old kitten & I’m just starting to after she ripped off the top of her bottle. I figured she no longer wants to be bottle fed and she grew all of her teeth. She instantly learned how to drink the milk in a small bowl & I also gave her a small portion of canned food. She loves it and I’m glad I don’t have to bottle feed her anymore, because it was stressful.
lol unfortunately the kitten was not hungry
the little kitten meowing was the cutest thing ever!!
@emogoth96 But the other type is still better since it hasnt tried the milk made to be like cats
@lovemakeup786 Can’t you get flea med for the cat?
i just got a kitten she was a stray with her mom but mom ran off, and so my mom let her be apart of the fam and gave her to me for christmas
she would’ve died if we didnt do that, she was so starved to the point where her stomach wasnt used to eating, but she’s doing well now 
Aww teh kitteh ain’t hungry.. lol
“MEEEW! MEWWWW! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW! MEW! MEEEW!”
“Put me dooown! Aaaagh! Put me dooooown! Haaaaaalp!”
You can get Milk especially made for Cats in the Pet Stores these days.
Thank you so much for the tutorials. I have one question: Can you feed kittens Tuna (tin tuna in brine)? plz let me know. Also my next door neighbours kitten has fleas and i did point it out to them and told them to take it for treatment but they haven’t. The kittens losing weight very fast. Is it going to die? What do i do?
@zynation it’s like baby formula versus normal cow’s milk. There are diffrent nutrients in it, that are designed to be able to feed the babies of the animal that produces the milk. So cow’s milk isn’t the right nutrition for kittens, but the formula that you can buy at a pet store is made to be extremely similar to cat’s milk. Also, most cats are lactose intolerant, so normal cow’s milk will upset their stomach
@reebee12345 nutritionally, it depends more on the brand than if it’s dry or canned, and dry is usually cheaper than canned food of equal quality. for feeding to kittens you want to start with wet (either canned or dry soaked in water) since they can’t chew the hard kibble easily. Over time soak the dry food for a shorter amount of time, so the kittens get used to the hard dry food, untill you don’t soak it at all
@TehEvilWolf its n0t truE cuz wen my kitten is still a newb0rn kitten we fed her/him a milk that we can drink and my kitten live! s0 its n0t true! and she’s/he’s 4 months old!…(i’m not sure if my kitten is a girl…)
would u quit shouving food into its mouth LOL
i dont think he likes the last option and i think hes only intrested in the milk
@iluvthejb55 no that can kill a cat
“it comes as either a powder, or a premade liquid” oh god, rofl… that just made my day
is canned food better than dry food or is it the other way round
i have read from many many articles and they said regular milk isn’t appropiate for growing kittens. they need special proteins and vitamins from the kind of milk they drink, or something like that.
No…
Thanks for your videos
