How to get a skinny stray nursing cat to eat cat food?

Sapi should be eating kitten food, as she needs the extra calories, calcium, and protein to sustain feeding kittens. I would try mixing the dry kitten food in with the wet food, you could soak her dry kitten food with low sodium beef or chicken broth to make it more tempting for her, you could soak her dry kitten food with tuna juice, or you could mix in some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) with the dry kitten food in an attempt to get her to eat it.

It would be the right time to start introducing solid food gradually. Initially just mixing it with kitten milk, then over 4-5 days wean her off onto solids completely. She is too big to rely on milk only.

Picky eaters can always be frustrating! By 7 weeks of age, Ryoko does not need to nurse from her mom, so any nursing may be delaying her need for kitten food. If possible, try to separate the mother cat from all kittens for several days. During that time, offer canned kitten food mixed with finely shredded chicken to try to tempt Ryoko to eat, then gradually decrease the amount of chicken mixed with the kitten food. If she does not care for canned food, you can try offering dry kitten food. She won't starve herself! I hope this helps and that all goes well!

This sounds very frustrating! I'm glad to hear that Rose is active and at a healthy body weight, but eating solely chicken and tuna does not provide a balanced diet for a growing kitten. Since Rose is willing to eat the chicken and tuna, try shredding these foods into very tiny pieces. Then begin mixing chicken and tuna in with her kitten foods. Start by mixing the foods 50/50, then gradually wean off the chicken and tuna. If this is not successful, you may need to try other brands, textures, or flavors of kitten foods. Some cats prefer kibble to canned foods, so that is one other thing to try. By 2.5 months of age, there is no need to continue giving her the kitten milk replacer, as water alone is sufficient. I hope this helps! :-)

It is important That Pelly eat mostly kitten food. You can certainly supplement with meat/fish but make sure at least 75% of her daily food intake is kitten food. Whiskas is not the highest quality food but if it's your only option, then go for it. Purina, Iams, Eukanuba and Science Diet are all good brands if you can get them. Make sure Pelly is appropriately dewormed to make sure the parasites are not making him too skinny. I hope this helps.

First of all, if she has not seen a vet yet this is the first thing you need to do before thinking about giving her different types of food that she might eat, if she isn't eating- she is ill and will need to be diagnosed and most probably medicated in order to get better. Now regarding foods she might want to eat, i would advise to try sardines, boiled chicken, canned tuna and liver pate.

She is very young, most kittens are very thin at this age.your should start giving her dry food as well as wet food. as long as she will eat mainly wet food she will not drink much as wet food is 85% water.
