Feeding and caring for my kitten: questions.

kathleen prokop · Jun 30, 2015

I like to feed my kitten small bits of soft cooked chicken then leave a bowl of wet food

I might even leave a little of condensed milk with water next to her

As she is a kitten I will need to put her safe and away from under sofa or under piano -- she might get stuck

So I think the best bet is put it in a large laundry basket uncovered -- just put either paper on the bottom of the basket

My kitten is too small yet for harness because she might dislocate her shoulders

But when she is a little bit grown -- I would need to put her in a harness so she will be safe away from under like sofa or piano -- she might get stock there and stay there for days and she will starve

I will also give her a bath once a week -- my kitten let me bath her for 12 months -- once 1 months-- they growl and fight like a leopald

Take care

How old is your kitten?

Laundry baskets are not recommend for tiny kittens because of the danger of getting their head stuck in the openings. So double check that.

Harnesses are normally used for taking cats outside for some fresh air. You cannot put a cat on a harness and leave it alone. If it gets stuck on something the kitten will panic. Also cats and kittens can get out of harnesses.

I also don't think a cat can get so stuck in a sofa she would starve. Nothing gets a kitten's attention like food. The piano I'm not sure about. Maybe by the pedals but I think if they can get in they can almost always get out.

Please enjoy your kitten. Remember getting into a little trouble is part of a kitten's life.

I have two additional comments:

If you want to give extra milk, goat milk is better than condensed milk. Or even full fat, unsweetened mild youghurt. (we do not recommend common cow milk, althoug some cats do manage OK cow milk).

Bathing of healthy short hair cats is really not necessary. They are clean by themselves.

Although its wise they know how to be bathed, IF it would be necessary sometimes...
