Can you feed a 3 week old kitten buttermilk if the mom is not feeding it?
All cow's milk is not good for animals including buttermilk. Will cause diarrhea and is of no health benefit. You need to find a formula such as esbilac to replace the Mother's milk. Get a bottle too, can find them in the pet stores and feed the kitten about every 3 hours. In about another week, you can start to add softened kitten dry food, but soak it first until soft. Pour some of the esbilac on top of the kitten food. Offer that to your kitten and she or he will start to chow down on that. You can switch to dry kitten food completely at about 5 weeks of age.

How old is a kitten when it first walks?
A kitten has mobility at approximately 2 hours old. After the mother licks the kitten dry (and this action warms up the musculature and gets the kitten's blood flowing) the kitten starts moving about in search of its mother's milk. While not upright and "walking" the kitten is moving. The ability of the cat to be mobile at such an early age probably stems from ancient times when cats of prey would move about to follow herds of animals. Withing days, the kittens are basically upright and mobile.
