A kitten needs a diet that will provide it with nutrients during active growth and development.
How long does it take for a kitten to get used to a new home
On average, a kitten will need 2–3 days to get used to the new conditions and 1–2 weeks to fully settle into the house.
Let the baby spend the first days in one room - preferably in the one where you spend a lot of time.
Is it possible to leave a 2 month old kitten alone at home
If your kitten is under 8 weeks old, the most you can leave him alone for is an hour in total.
If the kitten is 4-6 months old, it can already be left for a longer period of time, up to 4 hours, but provided that it has all the vital resources and is safe.
How to leave a kitten alone at home for the first time
Leave him alone for a short time at first (about 10 minutes), gradually increasing the period of your own absence.
Before you leave, fill his bowls with food and clean, fresh water, add an extra litter tray, and be sure to have a few toys ready.
What does a 1 month old kitten need
It is correct to start feeding a kitten at the age of one month with special pates.
They are sold at any pet store. Over time, you can gradually introduce boiled vegetables (potatoes, carrots), meat, fish, and dry food in the evenings into the kitten’s diet.
Provide a safe place to sleep
Place the kitten's bed in a cozy, quiet place, and put a blanket there.
Make sure your kitten has access to water, food, and a litter box.
Turn off the lights in the room where the kitten sleeps.
This will help establish a sleep schedule for your pet.
What is the best litter for kittens
For kittens, I recommend using either wood litter (regular or clumping) or an absorbent clay-based litter.
It is better not to buy silica gel and clumping bentonite fillers.
The kitten can taste them, which is dangerous for the animal.
How to toilet train a kitten
Place your baby in one of the trays immediately after eating or waking up.
If during the day you notice that he acts like he wants to go to the toilet (this may look like sniffing or squatting in a certain place), move him to the litter box.
Reward him every time you notice him using the litter box.
