Did you have a kitten? Of course, you already bought the kid a special forage, stocked up with fresh milk and even prepared for the pet separate pans for food and water. But the kid unexpectedly refuses food though it is clear that he is hungry. What should I do? To train a kitten to eat and drink independently. Do not worry – only several trainings for this purpose are required.
Instruction
1. Problems with food most often meets at kittens which were given to new owners too early. They did not wean from maternal milk yet and did not manage to pass to a forage for adult animals.
2. It is worth beginning feeding with milk. Warm up fresh milk, pour it in a bowl. For convenience put a kitten on a table and substitute a bowl to his muzzle. If the small animal moves back and does not understand what you want from him, try to dip slightly him a muzzle in milk. He will be forced to lick wool and, perhaps, will become interested in taste. If it did not occur, repeat attempt - sooner or later the kitten will give up.
3. Sometimes kittens refuse to drink because the bowl standing on a floor is too low. Buy the ware established on special nonskid supports – to drink and eat from them, the kitten will not need to bend.
4. When the kid learns to drink milk, offer it meat paste for kittens. Small animals treat it differently – some greedy snatch on a new forage, and others are completely indifferent to it. Put a little paste on a finger and bring to a mouth of a kitten, inducing the kid to try new food. If it sliznt paste, consider that you coped with the task. Lay out a little forage in a saucer and offer a small animal.
5. You do not hurry and be not nervous – sooner or later the kitten will react to your attempts to feed him. Do not offer the pet a dry feed and large pieces of food – he just will not cope with them. Besides special canned food for kittens is balanced on structure and ensures normal functioning of digestive tract of the kid.
6. Do not forget to offer the kid water. If he a little and reluctantly drinks, do not insist – there are animals who use not enough liquid. Keep in mind that cats are very sensitive to purity of bowls. Regularly change water for fresh even if the kitten drank very little. Clear water can awaken in him interest in drink.
7. To define whether your kid normally eats, you can, having checked his toilet tray. If the cat regularly (and not without result) visits him, everything is all right. Consider that food consumption rate at each animal the.
