Surviving Kitten Weaning: Chaos, Cuteness, Milk

So, you’ve got a tiny furball who thinks your shoelaces are prey and your sleep schedule is optional. Welcome to kitten weaning season. Here’s the deal: at about 4 weeks, your kitten is ready to ditch the milk bar and try real food. If you’re fostering an orphan, don’t panic—they’re tougher than they look. Start with kitten milk replacer (never cow’s milk unless you enjoy cleaning up diarrhea) and a shallow dish. Pro tip: don’t shove their face in the bowl. Let them sniff, dip your finger, and let curiosity do the rest. Once they’re lapping like pros, introduce a mushy mix of kitten food and milk replacer. By 8-10 weeks, they’ll be crunching solid food and plotting world domination. Keep meals frequent (4x/day), water handy, and ask your vet if you’re unsure. You’ll survive. So will your kitten. Probably. #KittenCare #PetParenting #WeaningTips #Pets #Cats
