i adopted a kitten( hes round 3-4 mnths) from an animal shelter a week ago. he was on a diet of cat food and milk there. at home since we didnt exactly get tht particular brand of cat food we've been feeding him milk/ chicken/ fish /bread but he wont have any of it! he has like a few table spoons of milk every meal and sometimes he wont have tht too. we r takin him to the vet but till then what do i do? wots wrong?

Answers:

Milk could be upseting his stomach. Some cats can be lactose intolerant.

Are you on wet or dry food? Unlike with a dog, you can change the kind of food you feed a cat without any stomach upset. Try different brands and type of wet and dry cat food. I'd start with a ground type of wet food, something maybe tuna flavored. Try different types of dry food too.maybe different shapes. My smaller cat likes the smaller sized dry food, maybe it's easier to eat?

As long as he's not vomiting or doesn't have diarrhea, he could be just getting used to his surroundings and is being finicky. But the vet will be able to tell what's wrong. Bring a stool sample with you (a dime sized piece) so that they can check for parasites.that might be a problem too.

maybe you should just go to the store and buy him regualr kitty food it doesnt matter what brand, cows milk isnt good for kittens it is hard for them to digest, if you want to give it milk give it kitten replacement milk

kitty's eat when they want, but since he has not eaten, you should get him regular kitty food, then take him to the vets.

milk is bad for them, they diarrhoea. your kitten still needs kitten food, not human food.
