Out here in Dubai are loads of abandoned kittens and puppies, and one kitten has been adopted by a friend.
Turns out the kitten is just short of 4 weeks old (that's another story).
Anyway, what food and milk should it be having? its on kitten mousse provided by the vet, it hates normal food but goes mental when my friend is cooking human food and uses her as a ladder to see what it can steal out of the pan.
It's also bloody noisy for a kitten, proper loud voice on it.
Any other advise for such a baby?
Thanks

PS. It loves Jazz music - weirdo

If you can locate a surrugate cat mother for it, then that would be the best thing for it really. For now, you have to bottlefeed it kitten formular. NEVER EVER bottlefeed it lying on it´s back like you would do with a human baby. There is a high risk the milk will get into the wrong throat and into the lungs. You have to bottlefeed it on it´s stomach
From 5 weeks onward yoyu can start to introduce it to kitten dryfood soaked in water (to make the pills eatable for it)
Don´t forget to rub the abdomen and use a wet cloth around the anus after every meal. A mother cat do this in order toi help the kittens defecate. The wet cloth is to stimulate this.
This is something humans have to do with their babies too quite often
See if you can get another kitten - but preferably one from a home that is at least 12 weeks old or an adult female cat. Helps socializing the cat
Use cat litter that does not clump (it may try to eat it)
