Your kittens are 27days old cat you feed them kitten food?
27 days is a little young to start feeding them solid food. Your kitten starts eating kitten food whenever it feels that it is ready. You could keep a bowl of food out, and water out if you like. At this stage, kittens may begin to explore regular cat food and might want to try it, but many start around five or six weeks. I would stick with soft kitten food at first.
What happens if you feed a 4 week old kitten tuna?
If the kitten ate it willingly, nothing bad should happen. A 4 week old kitten is just at the very earliest stages of weaning, so don't start feeding it solid food only at this point, he/she still needs to nurse regularly.

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.
New kitten and its was fin but after a 2 or-3 days its poop got runny iam feeding it puppy food with water in it what am i doing rong?
You shouldn't be feeding it puppy food. Puppies have different nutritional needs to cats, so your puppy food might have vegetables and grains in it. Cats and kittens are what's called "obligate carnivores" which means they should only eat meat, eggs and dairy (mostly meat!). Get some kitten food from the pet store as soon as possible, or your kitten won't get the right nutrients it needs to grow.

5 to 6 weeks depending on the kitten. Some kittens start earlier and some later. Use kitten food.
When to stop moistening dry kitten food?
when cats are born they get feeded by their mom right? so after about six weeks they stop getting fed by their mom so you would want to start feeding a newborn kitten after six weeks but you have to give them soft moist and wet food so it wont hurt them thank you!
Can't afford kitten cat food at this time can i feed my 7 month old kitten with adult cat food?
Yes, of course. The nutritional needs of an adult cat and a kitten are the same; its just the amounts that should be fed to an adult or kitten that are different. 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 adult food is absolutely fine. 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.
Can a kitten eat adult food?
After a kitten is weaned between 7 - 10 weeks of age, they should be fed kitten food, although feeding adult food will not harm it. Many premium foods are suitable for kittens and adults. Kittens and cats need the same nutrients - both are strict carnivores and get all their needs from meat. Kittens, until they reach adulthood at 1 year of age generally need twice as much protein as an adult cat. Kittens are constantly growing and developing! Don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. Also, kittens have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is "little and often".
