Well, as you know, I'm already resting and this time has allowed me to observe my cat's baby, which is a month and a half old.I've tried getting him to eat solid foods like cooked giblets or milk, but he doesn't like either of them.On the contrary, she wants to continue breastfeeding from her mother and the other most important thing is that the mother cat no longer wants to continue breastfeeding and leaves for long periods which makes the kitten cry.Do you think she's too young to be able to eat solid foods? Or, on the contrary, she should already be trying to stop breastfeeding. I'm reading you, guys.

Maybe that's why I put in some pieces of soft meat like the ones Purina sells in a Packaging? Maybe that's why he rejected it. Maybe he's not ready for solids. But I'll have to try something more liquid. I'll try that or milk.

I had a mamma cat that refused to continue feeding her kittens last year. I didn't have any soft cat food at the time so soaked the kibble in some diluted milk for the kittens. They loved it. Good luck with your little kitten. Sometimes young mamma cats do this from inexperience. Mine was also a first-time mama.

I'm going to try that option. I have cat food here for the mother cat and I have milk. I'm going to try it because she has to like something.

How long is he? He may be too young to eat solids. They make KMR a kitten milk replacer. You can also try baby food.

He is a month and a half old And yes, I tried to give him a special kitten food that I bought, the Purina brand, however he rejects it, he doesn't even try to eat.

I have no idea but you are certainly looking after that kitten.

Yes, the truth is that it is the first time I have litters of kittens, in fact my kitten only had one kitten, but I'm doing everything I can to take care of it.

I think you should leave that to the mother cat to handle. You can in the meantime just give the kitten some fluids. But what is worrying is that he refuses to have milk
