One-month-old kittens have started to be weaned gradually, and liquid food should be the main diet at this time. It is recommended to use cat milk powder specially designed for kittens and avoid milk or other drinks that are not suitable for the cat’s digestive system. They need to be fed 4 – 5 times a day, and the amount of each feeding should be adjusted according to the kitten’s weight, but generally it should not exceed 10 milliliters per time. As the kittens grow up, wet food and soaked dry food can be gradually introduced to help them adapt to solid food. To ensure a balanced nutrition, some vitamin and mineral supplements can also be added appropriately.
To make it easier for novice cat owners to remember these key points, here’s a jingle: “One-month-old kittens drink cat milk, four to five times a day is just right; slowly add wet and dry food, grow up healthy without worry.”
Different seasons will also affect the food selection for kittens. Spring is the season when everything comes back to life, and the kittens’ metabolism speeds up, so an appropriate increase in protein intake can be made. In autumn, as the weather turns cooler and the kittens have a good appetite, food with a relatively high fat content can be appropriately added to store energy for the winter. In short, adjusting the feeding plan according to the climate characteristics of different regions will help kittens better adapt to environmental changes and grow up healthily.
To sum up the key points, correctly feeding one-month-old kittens includes choosing suitable cat milk powder, controlling the feeding frequency and amount, introducing solid food at the right time, and paying attention to seasonal and regional factors. I hope every cat owner can master these basic knowledge and let their little babies grow up healthily.
