Cats can eat by themselves after one month of age. At this time, you can feed them cream food or soaked kitten food to avoid indigestion and constipation. As the cat grows and develops, the soaking time and amount of water can be reduced, and finally replaced completely with dry cat food.

Precautions for kittens to eat independently

1. When guiding kittens to eat independently, feed a small amount first, and then increase the amount after the kitten adapts.

2. It usually takes 20-30 minutes to soak kitten food. Feeding directly into the cleavage can easily irritate the fragile gastrointestinal tract, causing vomiting, diarrhea and other abnormal symptoms.

3. The cat’s food plate must be used permanently and cannot be replaced casually, otherwise it may refuse to eat.

4. Feed kittens at a fixed time and at a fixed location, and should not be changed at will. When feeding, do not eat in a noisy place or in a place exposed to strong light.
