Cats are very greedy animals. Without human intervention, they are prone to eating too much. This characteristic can be seen from the newly born kittens. When the female cat and the kitten are together, they will always feed the kitten. Excessive feeding is not good for the female cat and the kitten. So how can the female cat and the kitten be weaned together? Does the female cat know how to wean the kitten? In fact, it is best to think of intervening. Let’s take a look at the method of weaning the female cat and the kitten together.
1. Using the 5-7-day transition weaning method, kittens usually start weaning at 40 days old and are completely weaned by 45 days old. When weaning, you need to pay attention to the method of gradual weaning. From the first day of weaning, you can give the kitten some soft cat food. After that, the amount of cat food will gradually increase, and the number of milk eaten every day will gradually decrease until the cat food is completely given after 7 days. After weaning, kittens mainly use soft milk cakes and food, and can be replaced with completely dry and hard cat food by 2 months of age.
2. Apply the smell that the kitten doesn't like on the female cat's nipples
If the kitten is more dependent on the female cat, you can apply the smell that the kitten doesn't like on the female cat's nipples, or put on weaning clothes for the female cat, and then soak the kitten food or milk cake in warm water, and use regular and regular daily, and eat less and more meals. In this way, in addition to drinking the female cat's milk, the kitten will also look for food when it is hungry, so that the kitten can be successfully weaned.
3. Precautions
When feeding kittens, you need to pay attention to feeding small amounts of meals. Do not feed too much. If too much is likely to cause indigestion, and you should not be too little. If too little is malnutrition, you will get sick in the long run. The specific amount can be determined according to the condition of the kitten. Generally, it is enough to feed the kitten with a slightly bulging belly. Generally, cats that are about 2 months old are fed about 5-6 times a day, 4 times a day for more than 3 months, and 2 times a day for more than 6 months.
In addition, for 1 month-old kittens, it is necessary to keep warm to prevent the kittens from catching a cold. Vaccination can be carried out when the kittens are 45 days old. Do not take the kittens out before the vaccination is completed.
