kitten

Apple21 asked:

First time cat owner...I just adopted a two-month old kitten from the shelter. He is a beautiful kitty with a very affectionate personality. The problem is that he doesn't seem very interested in the kitten food. I started him off on the Purina One kitten formula, but after the first two days he didn't really eat any more of it for three more days. I got nervous, so I purchased some Iams kitten formula (thinking he just didn't like the Purina). He nibbled at it this morning, but didn't eat too much. I am hoping he eats more during the day and this evening. He is drinking, playing and seems healthy enough. Oh, and he smells food from my kitchen and is kind of begging for that. (haven't given any table food to him) Since he was a stray I am wondering if he is still unaccustomed to cat food (he was only in the shelter for a week). Is it normal for kittens to pick at their food? Or to get a taste of scraps (from being a stray) and only want that? Anything else I can do?
