Cat Towers

So weaning is the time, the transition time between when the kitten stops nursing exclusively from mom and starts getting nutrition on its own. These kittens are three and a half to four weeks old and they're going to start experimenting with food right now.

So this liquid in here is actually a milk replacer liquid that you can get commercially. It comes either as a powder or a pre-made liquid and you can put it in a little jar like this. Put a little on your finger, touch it to the kitten's lips, see if he likes it and let him explore.

Once he is ready he'll dip his nose in there he may stick his foot in there and play with it. Check it out and taste it. And this is basically the way you let kittens start to experience eating food. The other thing you want to do is take some dry kitten food and soak it in warm water for fifteen or twenty minutes so it starts to get soft and they're able to start to crunch it, play with it.
