I feed my two 8 week old kittens Purina Kitten Chow® brand food. Sometimes, I soften it with alittle water, but most of the time they eat it dry.

I've notice, shortly after they finish a meal, their stomachs begin to gargle/bubble. I can hear it- it's quite loud. It's almost as if they have gass.

Is this a problem?

use the search feature on the site and youll get load on cat nutrition... I would try a food without soy wheat corn and by products...

Have they been wormed ..??

I don't know about really little kittens, but my Teazer cat (whom I've had since she was 6 weeks old) has always done that, and yes, she occasionally has gas. The only time it has been a "problem" is when a guest picked her up and she had a little gassy bout.
The vet has never worried about it, but it can't hurt to ask, especially since they haven't been dewormed. Btw, do we get to see pictures of the cute little babies?!

Oh, ok. I'll go to have them dewormed asap. Thank you both. ^^

And sure, here's a picture of the boys I've taken their 2nd day with me.



I'll try to take more photos and post them in The Cat Lounge soon.
