You cannot leave wet food out for longer than half an hour, as it will begin to dry up in the air and become rancid. A kitten will not starve if left without food during the night, although you could put a small amount of dry food to leave overnight if your kitten seems particularly hungry.

should I feed my 9 month old kitten wet food?
I am sure I could feed my kitten wet food because wet food can help with hairballs and can be a good source of water especially because most cats don't drink a lot of water. My kitten is a Maine coon and has a ton of fur so wet food can help him digest hairballs.
Can you give a kitten dry cat food at 4 weeks old?
Kittens usually begin the weaning process around 4-6 weeks of age. They begin by taking an interest, or picking at their mother's solid food. At this age they will still be suckling and getting nutrients from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws. This first stage can take several days. Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now. It is easy for them to eat and digest. It is advisable not to try dry food as, even softened with water, kittens may still not be able to eat it. As the kittens get older and bigger, you can slowly decrease the amount of water or kitten milk you use in the food, and leave slightly larger chunks for them to chew. Be sure to feed them from a plate and not a bowl, as it is easier for the kittens to pick up the food.
How much do kittens eat in a day?
It really depends on the age of the kitten. If the kitten is eight weeks it should probably eat about three wet meals unless it is fully weaned. At that point about four small meals of dryfood is okay but wet food is much better for health anyway. If the kitten is about six weeks it is at the weaning period and may require five meals of wet food. If the kitten is three weeks then it will probably be drinking about three to five meals of milk a day. if it is one week or younger it will drink about one meal of milk every two hours give or take.
Can adult cats eat kitten 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. 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. Some premium cat food brands are suitable for both adults and kittens and do not offer a "kitten" range.
How long do kittens need kitten food?
Strictly speaking, healthy kittens do not "need" a specific kitten food. A kitten can eat adult cat food at any age, provided they are fully weaned. The nutritional needs of an adult cat and a kitten are the same; it is just the amounts that should be fed to an adult or kitten that are different. Kittens will often eat more than an adult cat, as they are still growing and developing, and need to be fed "little and often" due to their smaller stomachs. Adult cats need less food than kittens, and most are comfortable being fed twice a day. 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 on adult food is absolutely fine. If you are unsure about the current kitten food you are feeding, compare the ingredients between the the kitten and adult versions and see what differences (if any) there are. 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.

Why isn't my kitten eating dry food and wet food she only drinks cat milk and is 1 and an half months?
Is the kitten still nursing, or is she being bottle fed?How are her litter mates doing with this? The kittens are still young, and dry food may be just too hard for them right now. Dry kibble is incredibly hard and brittle and young kittens especially may be put off. Your kitten may not even like the taste of the food (this isn't uncommon in cats). If your kitten is refusing a certain brand of food, try another. Even try some wet food to see if you kitten prefers that. I can suggest to you is that you see your vet. She's about the right age for her first shots anyway.

What is a kittens favorite food to eat?
kittens dont realy have a favorite food. you should try one food at a time to see which food it likes better. but if you try one and it likes it do not change that food to another food because other foods may not agree with the kittens stomach after eating sertain foods. if the kitten spits up after eating one type of food get rid of the food as soon as you can and find another food. only use wet food or dry food when feedinga kitten that is weaned. if the kitten still drinks milk i would recemend using a milk replacement mix called (PetAg) KMR. all my kittens liked that stuff the best over all the kitten mixes. its a mix in a can that you just add water to. its good for kitten milk replacement if a kitten lost its mother
