    If the kitten you book is still in the belly of the mother cat, then you will have to wait for a while, the kitten will not be able to wean at least eight weeks later, such a kitten is healthier and more resistant than the kitten that was weaned earlier, because there are antibodies in the milk of the mother cat, which can help the kitten resist disease. In addition, the eight-week-old kitten has learned a lot of skills from the cat mother, has developed good habits, does not scratch and bite people casually, and has also learned how to use cat litter. After the kitten is brought home, be careful not to give the kitten milk, milk has lactose, and some kittens lack lactose digestive enzyme or lactase, so it is easy to cause chronic diarrhea.

    Some kittens are allergic to cow's milk proteins, and the result is chronic diarrhea. Although not all kittens will be like this after drinking milk, it is recommended not to drink milk for the sake of the kitten's health. If the eight-week-old kitten can't bite the cat food, you can soak the cat food in water to soften it, and you can also put some non-soaked cat food next to it, and the kitten will sometimes gnaw on its own.

    Cat food can now be used as kitten cat food, and when the cat reaches the age of one, it can be switched to cat food. When the kitten is three months old and can eat solid food, it is necessary to feed more dry food, wet food is easy to make cats suffer from tooth decay or dental calculus, dry food can help grind teeth and remove the food left on the teeth. While eating dry food, you should always have clean drinking water next to it, generally eat three to four meals a day, you can also put cat food and water, and the kitten will eat it when it is hungry.

    Kittens can be bathed when they are three months old, but it is best not to bathe often, generally about once in two or three months, because there is oil on the cat's hair, which can be waterproof and dustproof, and frequent bathing will wash off this layer of oil. The litter box should be placed in a quiet and less crowded area, as cats don't like to be seen or seen when it's convenient. The cat nest is very important, and it mainly depends on how you are going to raise it.

    If it is free-range, the cat will have fleas more or less, it is recommended to use a cardboard box or a plastic finishing box, which is padded with a towel mat or something, and then throw it away and change it, if you use a cloth, it is easy to parasitize flea eggs inside, and the cat will not want to go in the future. If it is domesticated, there is no problem with fleas, and you can use cloth or velvet.

    Hello, whether the female cat will come back after leaving the kitten depends on the actual situation such as the time when the female cat feeds the kitten and the motherhood of the female cat, and your short information alone does not mean anything. Generally in the wild, the female cat will wean the kitten after two months, teach the kitten some survival skills to live independently, the female cat with good motherhood will go out for a long time and do not come back, but will not abandon the original cat nest to drive the kitten. If you find that the mother cat leaves the kitten during this time, the mother cat will come back, but how long it will take depends on whether the mother cat can come back smoothly after going out to find food, etc.

    After all, sometimes a wild cat finds an accident outside, and it is possible that it will not be able to return to the cat nest.

    If the kitten is still in the mother's milk period, there are outsiders to touch the kitten every day, so that the kitten is stained with a different smell, and it is impossible to tell whether the kitten is her own, and the female cat will not come back after leaving. Because the female cat recognizes her child by smell, the kitten no longer has the familiar taste of the female cat. At this time, the female cat does not think that it is her own kitten, and she will not take care of the kitten, but the kitten with her own smell everywhere.

    If the female cat is the first time to give birth, it may also be because of the lack of motherhood and ignore the kitten, often go out regardless of the kitten, there will also be no feeding to the kitten, this kind of female cat can go out to the nest is unknown, only the female cat will improve after a few births.

    If the mother cat is not bad at motherhood, she will leave with the kitten if she moves during the lactation period. If the kitten is older and can go out, as long as the kitten does not choose to survive independently, it will also leave with the female cat to forage for food, and it is rare to ignore the kitten. So don't touch the kittens in the wild easily, just observe whether the female cat will return to the nest.

    Not necessarily. If the female cat is very unfamiliar with her surroundings and is familiar with her surroundings, she may find them by herself, and if she is very unfamiliar with her surroundings and it is the first time to go out, she may be very nervous and run around and hide so that she finally gets lost, so that she can't find it back. There is also a kind of cat just left home not long after the owner found out in time, the first time to start looking, the pet owner may call the cat back by calling the cat's name.

    A one-month-old kitten is better not to leave the mother cat, it is too young.

    In general, the time it takes for a kitten to live completely independently from the mother cat is after 2 months.

    Different cats have different times to leave the female cat, but the general recommendation is to leave the female cat if the kitten can eat normally.

    Cats around 2 months old can generally eat and drink by themselves, and the situation of using cat litter is also better, in addition, two-month-old kittens will not be as weak as other young cats, and they are not easy to get sick.

    A one-month-old kitten is relatively weak in all aspects, with low resistance and imperfect self-control of body temperature. You can put a warm water bag with a suitable temperature in the nest, but pay attention to changing the water in the warm water bag at all times.
