By the time a kitten is four to six weeks old, most kittens will begin to take an interest in their mother's food. It is then time to introduce some solid food in the form of a fresh raw meat diet. Feed a kitten in a very shallow dish, not a deep bowl, and be sure to warm the food to at least room temperature. Filtered water is preferable to chlorinated tap water. Cats do not require much water when fed on this species-appropriate diet, but fresh water should be available nonetheless.
I am not positive but I think that she either catches prey, or if she's a house cat, she let's her kittens eat kitten or cat food.
Kittens need large amounts of energy. About two to three times more than an adult cat. Kittens also need a lot of protein. Make sure the food you offer is made for kittens. Your pet will need to eat kitten-formula food until she reaches maturity, at about one year of age.
Cats nurse kittens until the kittens are about four or five weeks old. At this age, kittens begin to wean and are able to eat soft kitten food. The mother cat's teets will dry and retract slightly. The only true way to tell if a cat is still nursing kittens is through observation.
They can eat regular cat food. They're old enough to chew. Many good cat food brands are suitable for both adults and kittens as there is little difference between the two. Because they are growing, kittens need far more proteins than adult cats, so any good cat food with lots of meat in will provide enough nutrition for it.
only if a human touches the kittens right after they are born this is not entirelt true, for unknown reasons cats eat their kittens as well, it is said that cats can sence if their kittens are ill and will eat the sick ones

Most kittens can start to eat solid food at around 6-8 weeks of age.

I had Kittens that were killed same way. And it turned out to be Mother cat. If the kittens were either sick or there is a oder she doesnt know. She will eat them as food.
Kittens usually begin the weaning process around 4-5 weeks. Around this time they can begin being fed a mix of kitten milk and some wet cat food (canned). You can begin to decrease the milk as they get more confident and then they should be able to eat just the wet food.
Cats are carnivores, whereas dogs are omnivoures. Therefore, dogs can eat cat food, but not the other way around, so no, kittens should not eat dog food.
I would not let them eat cat food until they are 6 - 8 weeks old. I would use goat milk instead of evaporated milk. It's easier for them to digest. If you do start them on cat food at 6 - 8 weeks, be sure to buy KITTEN food and not CAT food. There really is a difference.
