Your kitten just came to your house yesterday he is not eating or drinking or peeing?

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.

How can you get a kitten to eat properly?

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!
