Help! 6 Week Old Kitten Not Eating Food (Mom Isn't Around Either)

[crossbones3129]

It is probably better to just stick with the classic pate because the other flavours have additives and grains so that might be bothering his system. 

Well he's doing it on chicken classic

He's eating so much! I give him like 1 or 2 spoon fulls of cat food when he follows me around crying. He's going through like 2 cans a day. Is this normal for a kitten?

Yes kittens eat a lot as they are growing. At this age let him eat as much as he wants.

Ya that's what I'm doing. He just follows me around crying so loud and afterwards he just goes runs and plays and doesn't really wanna come near me, which makes me sad He continues to bite my feet, fingers when I pet him sometimes, and my face sometimes, waking me up from sleep.

I'm not very familiar with those brands; but this article might be a help to you: http://www.thecatsite.com/a/choosing-the-right-food-for-your-cat. It's more general.  As a rule of thumb; I go for the best quality I can afford.  There are other articles listed with links in the "sticky" at the top of the nutrition forum.  http://www.thecatsite.com/t/248990/tcs-resources-thread-feline-nutrition-articles-and-threads
