they need to be around 6-8 months old.
You will have both out for the mother cat, and as she weans them around six weeks or so, they will start showing an interest in "big kitty" food. At that time, you may need to add a set of plates (it is easier for tiny kittens to eat from flat surfaces instead of bowls) to accommodate everyone.
hi there i am not sure on that 1 i am still trying to find out how big an 8 week old kitten is
Strictly speaking, healthy kittens do not "need" a specific kitten food. A kitten can eat adult cat food at any age, provided they are fully weaned. The nutritional needs of an adult cat and a kitten are the same; it is just the amounts that should be fed to an adult or kitten that are different. Kittens will often eat more than an adult cat, as they are still growing and developing, and need to be fed "little and often" due to their smaller stomachs. Adult cats need less food than kittens, and most are comfortable being fed twice a day. For the most part, kitten and adult food from the same brand are the same, or at the very least, very similar in terms of ingredients and nutrients. Feeding a kitten on adult food is absolutely fine. If you are unsure about the current kitten food you are feeding, compare the ingredients between the the kitten and adult versions and see what differences (if any) there are. The biggest difference between the two is usually texture. Kitten food is usually softer in texture or has smaller pieces. Dry adult food pieces may be too big for a small kitten, but wet food can easily be mashed up in order to be eaten more easily. Premium cat food brands are suitable for both adults and kittens and do not offer a "kitten" range.
We have used, in the past, a big appliance box cut to the height you need. Or just a very big box with old towels or an old blanket you can wash later. You may have to move mother and kittens once she has them into the box or whatever you decide on, as mom sometimes doesn't agree with where you want her to have them.
First of all, keep the mom cat comfortable, fed well, and clean. The same goes for after the kittens come. Second, you'll need to prepare for the kittens. Make sure the bed/box or wherever the mom cat is staying is big enough for herself and for her kittens. Keep the bedding clean as well.
my cats stomache is big how can i tell if it is worms or kittens i have no clue what to due
kittens and cats have big eyes so that they can spot a prey running really far away. even at night they uses their big eyes.

You can put out a bowl of dry kitten food and a bowl of water. Call the ASPCA. They will take the mother and kittens. If the mother and her kittens are safe and hidden from preditors (which it doesn't sound like they are) and you feed them they'll stay around. Heat and cold are another problem. Racoons, dogs and coyotes, also are a big problem in some areas and will probably get to the kittens while their mother looks for food.
Well, i can find then at the post office at night. There are 2 kittens and 2 cats. The father cats name is Smoky. The mother cats name is Kitty. The young kittens name is Cheese. The old kittens name is Cheetah. Then there is a feral cat that I named Sparky that comes to our house at night and eats the food that I leave out for her. She might have kittens because she is big for a feral cat. She is very skittish. What do you think?
Looking after a kitten is a big job. You need to be responsible in order to keep the kitten healthy. You need to feed the kitten Kitten Food 2-3 times a day, give it water when the water is gone and make sure the kitten is eating. You need to give your kitten attention and love. If your kitten is an indoor kitten, make sure you have a CLEAN litter box. If it is an outdoor kitten, it should go outside! This is optional but you can buy your kitten a cat bed or toys to make it more happy. JUST REMEMBER: A kitten is a big responsibility, so you cant just expect it to take care of itself.
Let the mother of the kittens take care for it.The mother cat has a big responsibility for it.
