I've adopted a new baby kitten I found under my friend's porch. She was 2 weeks old when I found her, totally abandoned by her mother, and I've been bottle feeding her since then. Now she's about 5 or 6 weeks old, going to the bathroom on her own, and so now I'm trying to get her to eat hard kitty food. I'll put some in a small bowl, moisten it, and put it in front of her, but she'll just stare at it, then walk away and then cry for a bottle. I'll leave it out for her and offer it to her at the next feeding time, but she still won't touch it!! I've even tried putting formula in a bowl to see if she would drink out of it, but she won't even do that. I don't know if not having a mommy cat for her to mimic is the dilema, but I've done everything I can think of and now I'm desperate for some help. Does anyone have any suggestions or know what I can do to help her start eating hard food?
