What can a newborn cat eat?
First, breastfeeding the newborn kitten, of course, it is best to let the cat mother breastfeed ~ but the following two points must be noted ~

1. Don't let the kitten smell too much that doesn't belong to it.

Don't let mother and son be separated for too long. Someone has done experiments. After more than 7 days, the mother cat may no longer understand her child and accept her child.

If you can't find a female cat, find a wet nurse for it if you can. This wet nurse must also be a lactating female cat. It is difficult for a mother cat to accept a strange kitten.

When giving kittens to the mother cat, don't let them face to face. Make sure the kitten's ass is facing the mother cat's face (don't be rude) so that the mother cat can smell the kitten's ass. If the mother cat starts licking the kitten's ass, it means that the mother cat has accepted the kitten and then the kitten can eat the mother cat's milk. If the mother cat doesn't lick the kitten's ass, then she may not accept the kitten.

Second, feeding goat milk powder must be goat milk powder. You can't give the kitten milk. Milk contains lactose, and kittens are prone to lactose intolerance. You need to choose goat milk powder, preferably for cats.

Goat milk powder is not easy to buy. Try to feed Shu Hua milk, but it is recommended to feed it in an emergency. (The nourishing and soothing milk containing fiber may not be suitable for particularly sensitive cats, and some may have diarrhea, but this rarely happens, which is a very small proportion. Most cats can drink nutritious and soothing milk.

However, the protein content of Shuhua milk is relatively low, which is not nutritious enough for kittens. Kittens who eat Shuhua milk for a long time may survive, but they are malnourished, stunted and small and thin, so this is only an emergency plan as a temporary substitute food when buying fake and shoddy milk powder.

Feeding tool

1, pet-specific bottle, the smaller the nipple, the better.

2. Soft eye drops bottles must be disinfected and cleaned carefully.

3, syringe, if there is a valve core, drop a little on the syringe.

How to feed?

1, first heat the milk, about 38 degrees hot, try it with the back of your hand to make sure the milk is neither too hot nor too cold.

It is best to eat freshly brewed food for every meal. If you eat too much at a time, you can put it in the refrigerator to avoid spoilage. Remember to heat it before feeding next time ~

3. Hold the cat with a small towel, don't let the cat lean back, it's easy to choke milk. Then put it in your mouth and you may struggle. Patiently guide him to hold the nipple. The instinct of animals to suck milk will soon be learned.

4. Remember to wipe the milk leaked from the kitten's mouth after feeding ~
