Kittens are beings very dependent. They need to be taught where it is necessary to sleep where it is possible and it is impossible to go to a toilet, and sometimes it is even necessary to learn as it is necessary to drink milk. If your kitten is not able to do it independently, help it to learn.
Instruction
1. Let's a kitten taste milk. In general, the little kitten should milk only as a last resort – if with him there is no mom nearby. At least to monthly age the kitten has to eat maternal milk, and later she has to teach him to drink from a saucer. You do not give to drink to a kitten usual store milk if only in it there is no emergency. Buy in pet-shop special dairy mix for kittens, part according to the instruction. For this purpose use only ideally clean ware without any foreign smells. Moisten a finger in dairy mix and bring to a muzzle of a kitten. He has to lick your finger. If he refuses to do it, very accurately move apart his jaws and drip in a mix mouth. It is necessary that the kitten learned taste of milk.
2. Take the pipette, gather in it dairy mix (or milk if mix did not manage to be got in any way), open to a kitten of companies and it is very accurate, on a droplet pour out milk to him in a mouth. Do it very carefully that it did not choke. Remember that a stomach of a kitten of the size of a thimble therefore you can estimate how many he can milk.
3. Some time you feed a kitten thus. Then begin to accustom him to drink independently from a bowl. Pour in a low bowl (better in a saucer) milk, put a kitten before it. Perhaps, he will feel a familiar smell and will begin to drink. If is not present, then accurately stick it with a muzzle into a saucer that it wetted it in milk a little. He immediately will pinch milk and will quickly guess as it is possible to drink from a saucer. But even if the kitten after all did not become thirsty independently, be not upset – through some time he surely will understand that to what. At first the kitten will sneeze and sniff when drinks – be not frightened, just he is not able to drink correctly yet, and milk gets to it into a nose.
