It is perfectly fine as long as the older cat doesn't need a specialized food like for hairballs or weight-loss. Cats are actually kittens until they are 3 years old. My cat will be 4 in Spring, but still eats Kitten Chow often because it gives him lots of energy and he loves it. To save money and time, you can give a cat younger food. But when he/she is a lot older, definitly give it grown-cat food.

Is it bad when a kittens first solid food is meat?

As long as it is not a processed meat, such as hot dogs, bologna, etc.ADD:To expand: No, its not bad at all if a kitten's first solid bit of food is meat! In fact, this is probably the best start the kitten can get! Provided it was unprocessed meat, it should be just fine. Cats are carnivores and are designed to eat meat and get all their nutrients from it.It will not harm the kitten at all if you give it bits of plain chicken or other poultry meat as a treat from its usual food.

Your kitten has a fever and is sleeping a lot wount play eat or do anything he was fine yesterday he drake a littel milk but that's about it what can you do don't have the money for the vet.?

I have a kitten at home right now that some how got hurt while playing while I was at work, he has a fever, I took him to the Vet he was given antibiotic and he was given fluids. If you don't have any cash for your kitten, I would suggest to keep him hydrated, give him water, you can probably get a syringe, (no needle of course) get some fresh cold water fill the syringe and give it to the kitten right corner of his mouth, place cold ice packs under a blanket wrapped with paper towels and let the kitten sleep on top of the blanket, do not place the kitten under direct contact, make sure you make at least two layers of the blanket, this will help him/her not overheat, the most important thing is to keep your kitten hydrated. Hopefully his/her body will eventually come out of whatever is going through. But seriously you should see if you can find out from your friends of neighbors if anyone knows any vet that would be reasonable. Take up a collection at work if you need, I know with the economy so bad out of shape money is very tight, but if you have a pet you owe him/her good care.
