What Should I Feed A 6 Week Old Kitten

I know it’s tempting to buy the cheapest food you can find for your kitten, but I urge you to skip the cheap stuff. Cheap food usually contains a lot of fillers that kittens don’t need and can cause health issues later on in life. Try to avoid foods with corn, wheat, or soy in them. You want a diet rich in animal protein and made from high quality meats.

Weaning from 4 Weeks to 6 Weeks.

At four weeks of age, kittens are ready to be weaned from their mothers and put on dry food. However, it is important that you continue to feed your kitten high quality canned or raw foods until he is at least six weeks old. During this time your kitten will be learning how to eat solid food and will not have the teeth necessary for chewing dry kibble until later on in his development.

At this point it is also important that you begin feeding a good quality canned or raw diet at least three times per day in addition to offering him fresh water at all times. The amount of food you give him should be based upon his size; small kittens need only 2-3 tablespoons while larger ones may need up to 5-6 tablespoons per meal depending on their preferences and how active they are (the more active they are the more calories they require).

At the Beginning of Weaning.

As your kitten begins to wean, you can start giving them canned or raw foods. However, it is best to wait until they are at least 6 weeks old.

• If the kitten is still getting some of their mother’s milk, wait until they are at least 6 weeks old before introducing any solid food. Kittens will typically be weaned by 8-10 weeks of age.
• If you don’t have access to a high quality raw diet or if your cat isn’t willing to eat them (some cats won’t), there are several high quality canned products that can be used as well.

As Weaning Continues.

Now that your kitten is 5-6 weeks old, you can begin to transition her from her milk diet to a more solid food diet. At this point, you should continue to offer milk in smaller amounts and introduce wet food at least once daily. You can start giving your kitten dry food as well, but it’s important to know that kittens are no different than any other cats; they prefer wet food over dry and will eat less of the latter in favor of the former if given the choice.

As weaning continues, you can also begin offering treats like chicken or turkey baby food as well as water (if she’ll take it). You certainly won’t want to make these treats a regular part of their diet—they’re meant more for fun than anything else—but they’re one way of rewarding good behavior during training sessions and helping teach your kitten when she’s done eating her full meal.

Switching to Dry Food.

Dry food is an option for feeding your kitten. It’s convenient and easy to store, plus it eliminates the need for measuring out small amounts of wet food. Dry food also works well for cats that are fed a raw diet or home cooked diet, since you can simply add the dry food directly to their bowl and they’ll eat it right up—no need to worry about portion control! And if you have a cat who has previously been fed commercial cat food or other types of canned foods, transitioning them over to dry food should be pretty straightforward as well. To make sure your kitten gets all the nutrients she needs from her new diet, try mixing some canned wet with dry in order to provide balance between moistness and dryness (and perhaps even flavor).

Transitioning to Adult Food.

You can transition your kitten to adult food at 12 weeks or 6 months, or you can wait until they are 1 year old. You can also wait until they’re 2 years, 3 years, or even 4 or 5 years old! You decide when it’s time for your kitten to eat adult food.

Kittens should be fed high quality canned or raw foods

When it comes to the best food for a kitten, there is no clear winner. Different types of food will vary in nutritional value and suitability for your cat’s age. However, it is important that you feed your kitten high quality canned or raw foods.

Canned foods are better than dry foods because they tend to have higher protein levels than dry diets and they don’t leave behind as much waste material in their stool as dry food does. The downside though is that some cats will turn their noses up at them because they do not like the texture. By offering both types of food you can find out which one appeals more to your cat’s palate without making them eat something they don’t like!

Dry kitten food has higher levels of carbohydrates than wet diets so if you choose this type then make sure you supplement it with other sources such as fresh meat/fish/eggs too so that there aren’t any deficiencies developing later down the line when your little one grows older!

The most important step you can take is to make sure your kitten is weaned slowly and has access to nutritious food. This way, he’ll be able to grow healthily and avoid any digestive issues that might arise from eating too much of one kind or not enough of another
