The video above might be the most boring video you will ever see of Kismet, but it is really exciting to me! See, Kismet is now five weeks old. The Kitten Lady says this about five-week-old kittens:
- At five weeks of age, a kitten's teeth will continue to develop. The premolars will start to emerge, indicating that a kitten is ready to be introduced to weaning onto wet food. Weaning is a sensitive time in a kitten's life and should be handled with care; provide supplemental feeding and ensure that the kitten is maintaining a healthy weight and body condition.
- Average five week old kitten weight: 550-650 grams
We've been attempting to wean Kismet but it's hard. When we put wet food into the room, Shadow immediately eats it. When we tried putting wet food near Kismet the first time, Shadow went to eat it. When we tried feeding wet food to Kismet a couple nights ago, Kismet wasn't interested. Also, Kismet is still nursing. We've seen Kismet nursing. How do you wean a kitten who won't stop nursing?
Turns out, you don't. When I went to check on the cats today I found that they were out of food. When I refilled the wet food, Shadow went for it. When I refilled the dry food, Kismet went for it! According to The Kitten Lady, this is okay! Some kittens prefer dry food and as long as they're also drinking water, it's fine. We've seen Kismet drinking water for a while, so I'm not worried. However, it seems Kismet may not be that picky. Once mom left the wet food alone, Kismet decided to eat some of that too. Of course, then Shadow wanted more. The video below might be the most adorable cat eating video you ever see.
