Artificial feeding of a kitten baby
If a kitten comes to a new home at the age of an infant, then its meals should be organized 6 times a day. If he can suck from a bottle, then cow or goat milk mixed with raw yolk will work for him. An excellent food for a feline baby can be special dry mixes for kittens, which are a substitute for mother's milk and are sold in specialized pet stores. At the age of one month, the kitten is fed with liquid cottage cheese, finely chopped beef or chicken.
When the kitten turns one and a half months old, it is advisable for the owner to decide on the future pet food system. Within a year from the moment of birth, the animal is considered a kitten, and its diet during this period must be correctly formed.
