My cat just had 4 kittens, how long is it before we can feed them solid food.?

They will start taste testing mama's food after about 5 weeks. They will be ready to leave for new homes when they are 8 weeks, and they don't need anymore milk after that.

Good Luck

Have mama spayed. If you can't pay, call Animal Control or the SPCA, they have programs to help.

From experience about 5- 6wks kittens will take milk from a saucer. About 7- 8 wks solids ie: cat biscuits and "soft" meat. But some kittens mature earlier than others.

About a month and a half. Trust me. Once they start teething (They'll chew on EVERYTHING!) offer them soft canned food. Once their teeth begin to develop fully, mix the soft food with the harder food (Use kitten chow. They can chew it and digest it easier) and gradually reduce the amount of soft food until they're fully on the kitten chow.

DO NOT IMMEDIATELY CHANGE FROM SOFT MOIST FOOD TO HARD DRY CAT CEREAL.

This can shock their system. I'm currently nursing a kitten back to life who is suffering from a shocked system.

6 to 8 weeks

Well Hon,

They will be about 5 weeks old when they will try to 'venture' to taste mom's food, then is the time, to introduce them to soft food, when they are about 7 -8 weeks try to start to mix the dry food into the soft food, and they will be ready to go to good new homes about 8 weeks old....

in 3 to 4 weeks you can give them food soft food

About five weeks is when they should eat solid foods.

about 45 days

just make it available for them and mamma cat will show her youngens where its at when its time for real food. Just leave it all to her she knows what shes doing.

a little before they stop drinking their moms milk, it should be about 2 to 3 months
