How do you get a kitten to eat kitten food?
Answer:
First you start out by just giving them luke warm Kitten Replacer Milk (KMR). When the kittens are around six weeks old you can start adding little bit of wet cat food. As they get older and you start to wean them onto more solid food. Don't give them hard food straight away; use this:
Take some cat food and kitten milk. Put it all in a blender until it isn't clumpy anymore, then warm it for 30 seconds or less and then give it to them. After they have gotten used to it, gradually make it chunkier until they are eating solely kitten food. After that the kittens should start eating there food graciously. I have 5 6-week old kittens and I just started this recipe and it is cheap and affordable. They should love it and you could use leftover meat like cooked chicken or turkey as a treat.
Answer:
Kittens around six to eight weeks old can start to be introduced to solid food as this is around the time they start to be weaned off the mother's milk. Try mashing up some good quality wet/canned food (look for a brand with a high named meat content and no grain, such as Felidae or Blue Buffalo to avoid tummy upsets) for them. Mixing the food with a little bit of KMR (Kitten Milk Replacer) at first helps the kittens get used to solid food. Gradually, over the course of several weeks, decrease the amount of water/milk in the food as the kittens become more confident with eating.

What kind of Cat that looks like a raccoon?
The Maine Coon cat is often mistaken for a raccoon due to its size, bushy tail, and tufted ears. They have a similar appearance with their long bodies and fluffy fur, but Maine Coons are domestic cats known for their friendly and playful demeanor.
The cat is obviously homeless. But just to make sure, remember to check if it has a collar. Is it scared of you? Start to build some trust between you and the cat. This helps. Feed it and it will be more friendly to you. Give it milk,pet it, etc. Your parents need proof that you have enough responsibility for a pet. So, after you have gained it's trust, start taking care of it. Feed it every day (tuna, buy some dry cat food, borrow some from your neighbors.... be creative!) and buy it cat toys (or make some- a feather, a tin foil ball on a string). Spend time with it out by the shed. If it follows you around, you know that now it likes you and trusts you (make sure that it doesn't just like you because you are giving it food, though). After a while, talk to your parents about having a pet again (not in a week, give it a month or two). Bring up that it trusts you and you have been using your own money/resources to take care of it, and that you have been giving it your care and time. Good Luck!

What name is given to the sounds which a cat can hear but a human cannot?
Sound with a frequency lower than about 20 cycles per second, called infrasonic sound. Sound with a frequency higher than about 20,000 cycles per second, called ultrasonic sound.

Some animals can hear sounds above and below the range of humans.

the size of its stomach could be part of it. But usually when you start to see your cats belly become bigger, that's when you can tell that your cat is pregnant. A month after you realize this, it means that it is half way from giving birth. A cat is pregnant all together about 2-2 1/2 months.

The most common is the itching and scratching of the skin. This can be in one specific area or over the feline's entire body.

How long does it take for a kitten to grow?
They are sexually mature as soon as six months under adverse conditions, such as starvation, where their body tries to get a new generation going before it's too late, or among many Oriental breeds who mature early.
Physically, full size cats can take four or five years in such large breeds as the Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Siberian. A cat under adverse conditions can actually postpone their full growth until times get better. That ten month old you adopted that the vet confidently predicted wouldn't get much bigger? They can double their size in the next year, with a good home, consistent food, and knowing they are loved.
Under ideal conditions, a cat, depending on breed, should be done by the age of two years; first year, gets their bone structure done, second year, filling out their muscle structure. Neutering or spaying has no effect on their eventual size, though male cats, done before the thickening of the neck and broadening of the cheekbones under the influence of male hormone, will not develop these traits.
