How many months can cats be weaned?

When cats grow to 1 month or 1 month and a half, they can start weaning gradually, and most cats will wean successfully at 2 months.

Precautions for weaning cats are as follows:

Young cats should be weaned step by step. While gradually reducing the amount of food, cats should also have enough time to adapt to new cat food and other foods.

The cat food chosen by the owner for the kitten should be professional cat food, soaked in warm water before feeding, and then fed to all cats. Avoid the burden of gastrointestinal digestion caused by excellent cat food and affect the physical growth of young cats. When feeding cat food for the first time, choose a small amount to familiarize the kitten with the taste of cat food and let it slowly accept food such as cat food.

If the kitten must be weaned early for some reason, then it should be supplemented with milk at the age of three weeks, and it is not possible to feed the kitten for convenience, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. To drink milk for kittens, choose milk powder special for cats, such as milk powder special for pets and puppies. Nutrition is closer to breast milk, which is more conducive to the absorption of kittens.

With the extension of the weaning cycle, the owner can also prepare a small amount of meat food for the kitten, for example, chicken breast cooked with white water. And tear the meat into small pieces and give it to the cat. The food for cats should be rich in protein, vitamins, calcium and other nutrients. Young cats should avoid choosing some high-fat foods to avoid the burden of gastrointestinal digestion for cats and avoid obesity.

Don't bathe the cat at will during weaning. Bathing time should wait until the cat is successfully weaned and vaccinated for two weeks. At this time, the body of the kitten has produced antibodies, which can resist the stimulation of the external environment and will not get sick so easily, so the owner can bathe and clean the cat.

Tips for feeding kittens are as follows:

Eat less and eat more, and pay attention to timing, quantity and fixed point when feeding.

Timing: Feed at a fixed time every day to develop good eating habits.

Quantitative: Don't eat too much or too little. With the increase of cat age, the cat's food intake will gradually increase within a certain period of time (usually three or four months) and will remain stable after eight months.

Generally, cats about 2 months old should eat more than 5 or 6 times a day. Three months ago, kittens were usually fed four times a day, at 9 am, at 12 pm, at 6 pm and at 10 pm. Feed it three times a day from March to June. Twice a day after six months.

When the kitten's milk is not enough or there is no milk, she can drink special pet milk powder, and when she is older, she can add some rice flour to the milk powder. If you eat milk directly, it may cause diarrhea, because kittens can't digest milk well.
