All his sisters are eating kitten food and have been for a few weeks, as well as drinking from their mum.
He laps cat milk from a bowl, but he won't even try any kitten food wet or dry. He waits for his mother to reappear, even if that means a very long wait. I've kept his mother out today and tried mashing up a tiny bit of wet food in catmilk, which he ate. But he leaves any textured stuff.
His sisters love every variety of kitten food, crunchy, smelly, smooth and are slightly fatter than him now. Otherwise he is lively, affectionate, bouncy and happy. Should I start ending his access to mum? It seems very cruel when he is just about to go to his new home in two days. Maybe once he is in a new home he will accept new food?
Or any tips for what might tempt him? I tried mashed rinsed tinned sardines, cooked fresh salmon, liquidized cooked white fish, mixing everythign with milk..whiskas, felix, Hills dry kitten, whiskas dry kitten. To no avail. He has had first vaccination two weeks ago.
