Hi all,
I've been a dog lover my whole life and my wife and I recently decided to get our first pet, which we decided it should be a kitten.
So we purchased a gorgeous 4 - 5 month old kitten from a breeder. The bundle of joy is a Selkirk Rex who was living in a hour with roughly 30 other cats and the breeders family. When we brought the kitten home she didn't stop drinking water and we gave her the same dried food the breeder was feeding her but she never touched it. The minute I added a tin of kitten food(MacDonalds for animals) she licked the bowl clean. Since then she won't eat any food not even the dried food.
Today I opened a different type of food that come in a sachet and mixed it with the dry food, all she did was licked some of the sachet food off and left the dry food.
I don't want her to live off "MacDonalds" food, as well know how unhealth it is. How can I get my kitten to ear properly and can I give her human food that will be healthy for her?
We don't have any pork in the house as it is a disgusting and unhealthy animal to eat but are willing to cook anything else for her.
Also, is it normal for a kitten to walk around a house meowing endlessly, as the only she doesn't meow is when is lying on top of one of us?
Thanks
