It is common for kittens to not eat on their first day at a new home due to stress, unfamiliar surroundings, or changes in routine. Give your kitten time to adjust and offer familiar food in a quiet, comfortable space. If the issue persists, consult a veterinarian for advice.
It is common for kittens to not eat on their first day home due to stress from the new environment. Give your kitten time to adjust and offer small amounts of food and water. If the issue persists, consult a veterinarian for advice.

Create a safe space for your kitten to explore and adjust to their new environment. Schedule a vet visit for a health check-up and vaccinations. Spend time bonding with your kitten and providing love and attention.
no,but really a kitten should start eating from cat food is when the mother
I'll answer the question that seems to be asked here; What do you if your kitten is not eating, drinking, or peeing after the day you bring it home? Well, there are three things; stress from just being brought home, maybe a small cold, or a disease. The most likely is the stress from being brought home. The kitten needs time to get used to its new surroundings. If you think a cold may be coming on, monitor the kitten a little bit more. If you see symptoms of ANYTHING, call your local vet.
Kittens, like babies, need a lot of sleep for growth and development. At 4 months old, your kitten is likely sleeping a lot to recharge and grow. It's normal behavior for young cats to sleep for up to 16 hours a day. If your kitten is eating, playing, and using the litter box normally, there is likely no cause for concern.
NO. you should not bthe a puppy his first day home
If the kitten is under six weeks old, then it must still be with its mother, no doubt about it. If you find out that your kitten is less than six weeks after you have adopted it, like we did with my cats from a forest in Florida, then you must have a daily schedule. Every day, you'll have to feed it warm milk, put into a bottle. If the kitten is older than six weeks, you can start weaning it off, sometimes putting milk in a small bowl, with a little bit of dry food, softened up. NO WET FOOD. Kittens at that age can't handle wet food very well. If the kitten is over six weeks, as I said, wean it and put it on dry food, little by little. Maybe an ounce less a day. However much YOU think is nessacary, on how big or small the kitten is. If the kitten is not eating, it must be sick, with a digestion problem, or some other disease. If the kitten is vomiting, urinating or pooping all over the house, or even has diaherra, then there are all signs of bellyaches, digestion problems, or urinary tract infections. These can all be caused by eating the wrong food type. Let me give you a warning. DO NOT GIVE YOUR KITTEN or even cat TUNA. NO TUNA. Last year, we gave my two cats tuna every day. The younger female, Callie, got a urinary tract infection. This can cause urinating all over the house, pain, CONSTANT pain, and it is all because of feeding htem wrong. So if the kitten is not eating properly, then something might be wrong with it. It might just have a bellyache. It might be the start of a urinary tract infection. So if your kitten is not eating properly, I suggest you take him/her to a vet. Good luck with your new addition! Have a blessed day!
Kitten's Diet is high in fat and salt, Kitten smokes more than 20 cigarettes per day, Kitten consumes excessive alochol
I've brought home a kitten when my cat was alone for at least a year and it worked out pretty well. But at first, my older cat wasn't very happy and stayed away from it. But day after day he got more used to the kitten and now the're the best of friends. My advice, try to get two cats at the exact same time. ;)
Kittens sleep a lot because they are growing and developing rapidly. Their bodies need plenty of rest to support this growth. It is normal for kittens to sleep up to 20 hours a day. If your kitten is eating, playing, and behaving normally when awake, there is likely no cause for concern.
feed it every day
Kittens sleep a lot because they are growing and developing rapidly. They need plenty of rest to recharge their energy and support their physical and mental development. It is normal for kittens to sleep for up to 20 hours a day, especially when they are young. If your kitten is eating, drinking, and playing normally when awake, there is likely no cause for concern. However, if you notice any changes in behavior or if your kitten seems lethargic or unwell, it is best to consult a veterinarian for further evaluation.
