Food- I have four kittens that are healthy from what I can tell. We've been weighing them every week and they are within normal ranges for their age. I have a problem getting them to eat food and not rely on momma. She's still feeding them, so I don't think they're going without. The only thing I've gotten most of them to eat a little of is the Tiki Cat Thrive that comes in small pouches. Other than that we have tried KMR mixed with mousse and it doesn't seem to be working.
Is this natural? Do I need just to leave food out? Is there some trick to getting them started eating on their own?
Litter- Momma cat is long-haired, so before the babies came I switched to a pellet litter as the clumping litter was sticking to her legs. She uses this okay (I hate it!) but the pellet litter we've put out in shallow pans is not being used. I don't think they like it on their feet. I've read you should not use clumping litter, so I'm at a loss as to what I should do. I've read articles on this site, but it doesn't seem to have the info I need.
It would mean a lot for anyone who has had issues with the above to post anything helpful. I'm at my wit's end and one of the kittens peed on the floor today.
