Hello!
The only time my kitten eats if I put some food in front of her. When she is in the bathroom, I do not think she eats. (I keep her in one room until she gets adjusted) Is it because she is in a new environment?

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a... -

4 month old kitten doesn't eat on her own

..... Congratulations on your new kitten 
!!!! How old is the kitten? Was she from a shelter? If she will eat with you in the room, then I would just schedule her daily wet food feeding's and sit in there while she eats. She is absolutely adjusting to her new home and probably is a bit stressed and feesl comfort when you are near. Just makes sure the kitten DOES eat. She must not go a day without food, then a vet visit is in order. You can leave some kitten dry food for her when you are away or not in the room with her. I bet in a few day's, she will be better adjusted and start eating in your absence. Try to spend loads and loads of time with her and that will help her start to feel safe and secure. TOYS TOYS TOYS too

When she sees one of the kids or myself or my husband walking past her she runs. I think she is just soooo sweet. She also got spayed on Dec 26. Do you know how long it takes to heal?Thank you for the advice!

back to their "safe" room. IF she is very confident - she will venture further. But keep that room available to her at all times. Don't take away that litter box - and keep her room the same. It will be fun for you to see what kind of personality she will have - they can be so different and just have no expectations.... there are some kitten's/cat's that are just naturally more shy and reserved than other kitten's/cat's. You will just have to see what kind of personality she will have. My Walden for example, is VERY easy-going, won't even move for the vacuum cleaner. Whereas, Perkin's will take off running at the first sight of the vacuum cleaner. Pipsqueak LOVES other people and will greet any stranger with confidence. Perkin's and Perla head for the hill's when anyone comes over. AND Perkin's will still dart off if my DH tries to pet him. He really prefer's "head bumping" to show affection and not hand petting. 
I just love the fact that all of my cat's are SO different. They truly are individual's - each their own cat 
. Enjoy your little Jasmine - she will grow quickly. OOOOOOoooooo I just LOVE the little kitten's. Pictures 
if you can.
