Sarah asked:
We are suppose to be getting a kitten from friends, but she and her 3 brothers refuse to eat kitten chow mixed with water and cat milk, they are 7 weeks old, and should be eating food by now! They still want to suckle on their mom. We've tried putting food down and only one kitten responded. We have them drinking kitten milk, but they refuse to eat food. We don't want to take her home before she's ready. Does anyone have any advice on how we can get the kittens interested in kitten chow?
I don't think I put in enough info in my original question. The kittens have been given canned cat milk, and they will lick that, they will not, however, eat kitten chow mixed with water/cat milk, nor will they eat any of the canned kitten food that is put out. We have tried different brands of kitten chow and canned food, we have tried mixing the kitten chow in various liquids, they just aren't interested. So, we are needing advice on how to encourage them to eat something other than their mothers milk.
