From the research that I've been doing it can take as long as 6 months so you will need to decide how long you want to keep it up. What I am doing right now is letting the kitten in one room and then letting the other to have the regular run of the house. There will be some hissing and spitting and from what I've been reading this is normal. Later let them switch rooms and see what happens with out the cats seeing each other. We are also taking them all to the groomers, so they will all have the same sent on them when they get done. I'll let you know how it goes.

How long do kittens need kitten food?
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.

Do 8 week old kittens get diabetes?
Although incredibly rare, yes, a kitten could develop diabetes. It is not truly known what causes diabetes in kittens. Some schools of thought believe that the kitten may have a strong genetic predisposition to the disease, or, like adult cats, the long-term ingestion of high-carbohydrate foods will cause it. Obesity is also known to cause diabetes in adult cats, but in extreme cases, it is not difficult to assume an obese kitten can also develop this. Generally speaking, cats and kittens get all their nutrients from a high protein diet, and cannot use high-carbohydrate foods. Due to over-feeding foods high in cereal and grain, a cat or kitten may develop diabetes.
