If you pet kitty properly, you have trouble getting her to STOP eating.

Ah.... how sweet... kittie WILL eat when it gets good and hungry - probably after it gets tired enough and has a good long nap. It may even be so distracted by all the fun it will ignore food for a day or two. No need to worry unless it suddenly becomes listless, or does not use the litter box at all, or stops drinking water.

You can't force it to eat. As long as it has energy and is bouncing around it is ok. It will eat when it gets hungry. Just put the food out let it know where it is. You will know when it is time to take it to the vet if it does not start eating.

Just leave loads of lovely kitten food out in lots of obvious places around the kitty and it will eat when it gets hungry. Don't be worried - kittens are tiny, they dont need that much to eat. If you play with it and wear it out then it will probobly get hungry anyway.

Maybe it's eating when you are asleep or not looking. It has to eat sometime. I guess it will eat when it's hungry. If it's bouncing around and full of energy, I wouldn't worry about it.

She will eat when she is ready and hungry. Just make sure she does know where her food is and she should be fine. If you notice her losing weight and NEVER ends up eating, call a vet and see if you should switch foods or make sure she doesnt have worms or some other problem.

OMG I GOT A KITTEN FOR CHRISTMAS TOO! HES IN MY LAP RIGHT NOW! ha ha! but anyway, i would be a lil concerned. have u tried giving it warm milk with chunks of bread in it? test ur milk like u would test a babys milk. put a little drop on ur wrist and if its hot or warm or cold or cool its not right u should not feel any temp just wet. i no it sound weird but thats it. so anyway, just try the milk and bread or canned cat food or just milk. good luck!

NO, he/she will eat when he/she'll get hungry - but you could stay next to him/her when you dish out the food. Mine has this habit of not eating until I sit with him and pet his back - then he'll finish his dinner - but if I don't sit with him he'll just fuss in front of his bowl.
Cats are very fussy eaters, not like dogs but they never go hungry! god bless them all.

Just have it's food out . It'll eat when it's hungry.
Right now it's enjoying all the fun and attention, sooner or later hunger and sleep will set in. Then watch out after it recharges its batteries.

No - it will eat and drink when it is hungry. Make sure that you have fresh water for it to drink. The water bowl should be rinsed out at least daily.
