1. The most important component when feeding a little kitten is a milk. Just like that to replace cat's milk any other it will not turn out. Milk of any mammals is ideal only for their look. If to compare cat's milk to cow, then it will become clear that the squirrel in it contains in 10 times more therefore for food of kittens in addition mix in the components containing proteins. For mix the basis – cow's or goat milk (80% of structure) in which egg white (20% of structure) is added is used. All needs to be mixed very carefully, to completely homogeneous mass. Happens that cow's milk does not suit a kitten, then you can use the dry dairy mixes intended for babies. You part them twice more liquidly, than the instruction for feeding of the child of age orders 1-2 weeks.
2. Every day kittens will eat a milk a little more, than on previous day. They grow, and food it is required to them more and more. To define whether enough to kittens was food, it is easy: after feeding they have to fall asleep. If kittens suck a finger and peep, then they are hungry.
3. Absolutely little kittens are fed by means of the pipette or the syringe without needle, it is possible to use very small pacifier. If you feed a kitten with the syringe and the pipette, then you regulate milk feed rate therefore you do not hurry, otherwise the kitten can choke.
4. Give to kittens warm mix, but not hot. The first week temperature of mix has to be 38-39 degrees, from 8 in the afternoon – 30-32 degrees. It is impossible to keep the structure prepared for feeding more than 1 days, otherwise it will deteriorate. All pipettes, syringes, small bottles and nipples need to be washed and boiled every day.

Since 5 in the afternoon, feeding is made each 4 hours. When the kitten is 3 weeks old, it is possible to feed him more rare in the afternoon and to cease to feed at night. Approximately from three-week age they begin to be lured other food: the low-fat cottage cheese, baby meat food which is passed via the meat grinder by meat.
6. Since monthly age of kittens accustom to eat from a bowl. For this purpose smear to a kitten with a milk of companies, and then show it a bowl. He will want to eat, and will learn to drink up from it.
7. A key indicator of whether correctly you feed a kitten, will be that, how fast he puts on weight. Healthy kittens recover approximately on 100 g a week (can be a little less or more). The newborn weighs about 100 g. If you notice that your little pet does not recover and grows a little, then he or got sick, or he lacks food.
