HI, thanks for using Boop by Petco! At 4 weeks old Almond should be very close to or completely weaned and eating kitten food. I would start feeding her canned kitten food and provide water in a dish. I personally do not think a cat or dog would drink from a sippy cup.I wouldn't stress over the sippy cup I would just get her off the bottle and provide fresh water in a dish. I hope this helps and I wish you and Almond the best!

It's great that you want to be prepared for your new kitten! Aside from the obvious things for the kitten like food and water bowls, I'd recommend a tall scratching post and perch. Two litter boxes in different areas of the house are recommended. Canned kitten food (and canned adult cat food as Myla gets older) is preferred over dry food.

The momma cat might not be making enough milk even though you can see some. It can take little kittens some time to get used to a bottle. You could ask your vet for a tutorial on how to safely offer formula via a syringe or ask about tube feeding to make sure the kitten is getting enough nutrition. As long as your vet confirmed that mom is healthy it is probably okay to let the kitten nurse some. These nipples in my opinion make a big difference too: https://www.miraclenurser.com

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! If Loki has teeth he can start eating canned kitten food. Mash it on a plate so he can stand in it and eat it. You can also add the formula to the canned food to entice him. If he’s at least 1 pound he is 4 weeks old. Don’t forget to get him to a vet soon to check his health and start vaccines. Good luck and kisses to Loki!

Hello, and thanks for using Boop by Petco. Sounds like your kitten is successfully weaning! It sounds like she's becoming less interested in bottle feeding, since she is taking solids, and is likely playing with the nipple now more than feeding from it. At this stage, kitten food will do her more good than meat or milk replacer. I recommend offering her both dry and canned kitten food (you may want to crush the dry food a bit if she needs help eating it), and you can also offer a bit of the milk replacer in a little saucer for her to lap up herself, to encourage self-feeding. Keep trying to do the bottle feedings until you're confident she's eating kitten food on her own, but don't stress too much if she seems to be losing interest as her "real food" consumption picks up. Hope this helps!
