My cat just had 4 kittens about 5 weeks ago. Im just wondering when you have to start feeding them canned/milk in a bowl. Every website I seen had different weeks and what not. Also, i tried to get them to have some milk a few days ago, made it sligtly warmer so its not to cold for there little mouths, they don't seem to like it. any ideas?

Feeding 5 week old kittens

Cow's milk is not recommended at all for cats. Most cats are lactose-intolerant and you will be causing a much larger issue by giving it to them.
Try a little human chicken or turkey meat baby food, poured out onto a small, flat plate such as a dessert-sized paper plate. Warm the jar gently in a bowl of hot water before serving and just be patient.

I agree with Gaye regarding trying the baby food. I don't know where you are keeping your mom and kittens, but mom needs to remain indoors only and away from intact males until she is safely spayed. Having 2 doors between her and the outdoors is ideal. Also, if you need a low cost clinic for when it is time to spay your mom cat, let me know.
