What can you feed an 8 week old kitten?

Answer 1

You mean, when do they start eating solid food? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's around 6 to 8 weeks old. One of my cats was 2 weeks old when I got her, so I had to feed her that special liquid kitten formula, as she was not old enough to eat solid food.

I started feeding her solid food when she was around 8 weeks old. I suppose I could have started earlier; I'm not sure. But the first night I brought her home, I didn't realize she was too young for solid food, so I fed her some chicken and she had horrible diarrhea all over the down quilt on my bed. So, since I really did not want to have that experience again, I kept feeding her the kitten formula until I was positive that she could eat solid food.

You can buy this special milk-like kitten formula at most pet supply stores. It typically comes with a powder supplement, and you mix a certain amount of the powder into the formula, depending on the kitten's age.

Answer 2

The best kitten foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does, so 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", as often as four to six times a day for very young kittens.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Wellness, Felidae, Orijen, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), Applaws (70+% meat and comes in both tinned and dry), HiLife (60% meat), to name a few.

Answer 3

the 8 week old kitten is still in need of it's mother's milk so if you go to a vet they'll give you a powder or some type of ingredient that you put in regular milk that makes it like the mothers milk(dr@gongirl11)
