CATDOLL : Can newborn kittens drink soy milk?

Newborn kittens cannot drink soy milk. Newborn kittens need breast milk and cannot digest other foods, so they cannot be given soy milk. Newborn kittens should be given cat milk. If the cat does not have cat milk, you can choose some pet-specific goat milk instead. Cat owners can use a special 10ml syringe (without the needle) or a small bottle to feed the kitten.

How to feed newborn kittens:

1. Food: Mainly goat milk powder, feed 5 to 6 times a day, set feeding rules according to the time of the cat and the owner, or feed the kitten when it is hungry; one-month-old kittens can only eat liquid food, buy special pet goat milk powder for feeding, cats are lactose intolerant and cannot drink milk, if there is no goat milk powder, you can use rice soup or thinner millet paste instead, but avoid milk. Kittens should eat small meals and feed 5 to 6 times a day, or determine the feeding time according to the owner's situation.

2. Feeding amount: Start with 4ml goat milk for trial feeding. If the kitten still smacks its lips after drinking, then gradually increase the amount. After one day of testing, you can fix the feeding amount according to the kitten's body size. Kittens are small and don't eat much at each meal. First, prepare 4ml milk powder and feed it to the kitten. If it still smacks its lips, it means it is not full. Then increase the feeding amount until the kitten is full and falls asleep. Generally, after one day of testing, you can know the kitten's appetite. Prepare an appropriate amount of milk powder each time. It is best to throw away the milk that the cat does not finish drinking, and do not save it for the next meal.

3. Feeding supplies: You can use a 10ml syringe (without the needle) or a small bottle to feed the kitten. When buying goat milk powder for cats, you can first ask whether it comes with matching feeding supplies, whether it is a small syringe or a small bottle, what temperature it can withstand, how to use it, etc. After the goat milk is brewed, let it stand and cool down. When the temperature reaches the temperature of the back of your hand, you can feed the kitten.
