When you are weaning newborn kittens off their mother’s milk, it can be difficult. They are not at all inclined to stop nursing, and usually show very little interest in canned food. Dry cat food will be much too hard on their developing teeth, so the best solution is to create a homemade kitten food that is very similar to their mother’s milk, but different enough that you can use it to steadily wean them away from her. This recipe is very easily to make and yummy for kitten bellies.

It may be a frightening prospect at first, but bottle feeding kittens is actually not much different from feeding a newborn human. Once you show them where the food is, they will usually do the rest. Just show them proper care and follow a few basic tips, and you will be just fine.
