Hello,

I was hopiong to get some advice on feeding our little 9-week old
kitten. Emphasis on little, as she's the runt out of her litter. The
kind women that raised her (and her 3 sisters after finding the mom in
a dumpster) said she had already wheened herself off milk and was
eating a mix of kitten dry & wet food. We found that she needs A LOT of
persistant encouragement to eat any food (including some cat milk we
got to fatten her up for her house warming) and when she eats out of
her bowl she picks out the wet stuff and leaves the soggy dry food...

We managed to at one point trick her into trying the dry food (as she
was falling asleep, dazed & submissing she ate it bit by bit our of our
hands ;) hehehe) , and she at some over the next day... but it's the
wet stuff she craves. As far as we've been told the dry stuff is much
better for cats teeth and that's what we'd like to feed her. We thought
that we might mix dry/wet for the first bit to fatten her up :), but
have a feeling she's just getting used to the wet stuff.

We want her to eat dry food, but at the same time, because she's so
little, EAT LOTS.

Do You think we'll have trouble weening her off the wet stuff later?
What do You suggest?

Thanks,
Mike
