Hello my cat had 3 beautiful kittens they are now 6 weeks old today, my vet told me to start putting mashed up food down for them when they was 4 weeks old so I did but they never showed any notice in it they still arent now but the girls will eat the kitten biscuits I put down for mummy but they arent interested in the actual meat, the little boy wont touch the biscuits or the meat he just wants to nurse off mummy, they all drink water out of a bowl and use the cat litter though I'm just a bit worried as everyone is telling me that they should be eating meat by now.

That's fine, no hurry. They'll eat solids when they're ready, and it's too early to worry. If the boy gets to 8 weeks without eating any solids, it would be a good idea to try other measures, like hand-feeding him baby food/mush. But for now let him develop at his own rate.

Kittens should stay with their mother and littermates for 12-14 weeks so there's plenty of time.
