Joey, Royal Canin makes a kitten food called "Mother and Baby Cat Mousse" that is the BEST for transitioning them. It comes in tiny pink cans. Mother cats actually need extra calories when they're nursing. At our cat rescue, we feed the mothers the kitten food, too. The babies are all so precious! Pearl #1( lol) is my favorite!❤🧡💛💚💙💜💖
Royal Canin is a wonderful brand! We got a kitten some months ago that eats this brand (he is older so he eats the dry food), and it's a great source of nutrition!
Maybe break the wet food up a bit more could help too? I use to have to do that with my kittens food as the tin has it clumped together, and try kitten specific wet food.
You need to actually mash it up and make it not so chunky, and maybe mix it with a little water or formula. They're not gonna be able to eat that if it's in a big block.
Your kittens are so different to mine, my cat literally acts as if she owns the place, she’s a greedy chonk and literally climbs wherever the hell she wants
Joey i know i am very late to comment but i have an idea on how to tell them apart. miss possessed eye one (ii forgot her name LOL) has like a pushed down nose and the other twin has a nose that goes more up.
I thought this was actually on seaside but no it's Joey Grace this made my day it's so cute I have a bad cough and I'm very very sick but I still watching videos they make my day
Give Lauren the kitten BC then in her channels the baby pops up and Laurencan show us how big they got also I REALLY LOVE THOSE KITTENNSSSS 🐱🐱🐱🐱🐱❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It might just be the type of food, I know that my cat despises the type of food that you gave your kittens, so I would try maybe a grilled or flaked type.
Mix the wet food with some slightly warmed up kitten formula (you can find the formula in most pet areas in stores). I had to hand raise my cat from 3 weeks onwards and it was the only way he started to eat the kitten food Edit: Don't start weaning until they're at 5 weeks if they aren't doing it themselves (I forgot to mention this in the original comment so thank in the comments)
Not yet, and also mums milk is there, available, and best. around 5 weeks if they had no mum you would currently be feeding milk replacer every 3 hours round the clock, and even at 5 weeks when you could try wet kitten food, you would likely have too supplement them with formula to make sure they are still well fed and gaining weight. All in good time, mum is best at caring for them, like no one else. So just let her do her job a little bit longer . 😻

When I saw LaurenZside I immediately clicked ! Btw your kittens are so cute !!! I wish I'd adopt one they're soo cute AHH ! if feel like I'm dying of cuteness!
try to warm up kitten formula with a little wet food and use a plate. since kittens are still tiny they may not notice in a bowl. also, try to dip some on their nose so they can understand the scent or hold one and dip some on your finger and let them lick it. usually those help. I did it while helping my friend fostered baby kittens once and it seemed to work.
I swear Joey you have such a amazing heart and personality, you take care of so many animals injured or pregnant , We are all glad you were born in this world!❣💥❣
hey joey. just a quick tip! ^-^ the kittens can probably smell the food but just don't know where the smell is coming from! if you dip the kittens mouth gently in the food and let them get a taste they will be all over it! just gotta show them how its done papacat! as i saw in the other video one of the kittens tried eating the bowl which means they are interested in the smell of it :) they just gotta find out where its coming from
Hey Joey 👋 A couple tricks to encourage them to try it is warming it up( just like 8-9seconds in a microwave) or sticking their paws in the food. Warmer food smells stronger and momma’s milk is relatively warm and sticking their paws in it means they will more than likely lick it off as they are already showing grooming behavior!
Idk if you've tried warming up the kitten food for like 10 seconds in the microwave, but that usually does the trick for me. Or try putting a little on the end of your finger and like let them sniff it super close. They might not be aware that they're going to like it lol
Might be missing context but they don’t need to be weaned off until at least 4-5 weeks and it’s better to start around 8 according to the kitten lady. My kittens stopped being able to be contained and they ended up expressing interest in moms food and so some have started weaning themselves around 5-6 weeks. One still hasn’t been weaning itself off and is getting a bit light now (into the 8th week) so I started mixing KMR powder, wet food and hot water. Warm food has a stronger smell so it helps them ID it as food easier! Hope this helps :)
Lauren and Meghan adopting one of the foster kittens, absolutely yes! Joey, no matter what, I will always be here watching and supporting you. Keep on keeping on, looking forward to continuing the journey of all the kittens, and on your other channels and in Eversea as well!
Aww! If she does (Haven't watch the video yet) it will be so cute to see the kitten in the background in one of her videos and just remember how she was born and where she came from:]
