have no interest. Chances are the kitten will be oblivious, but there shouldn't be any harm if the kitten ingests it. Six months is usually a good time to start.
Good luck with your kitten. Check out my site thecattherapist.com for more info.

Date: Aug 30 2010

A: Hi,
Your kitten's diarrhea may be because of diet or worms, and/or many other causes. You would do best to have your kitten checked out by the vet. Good luck!
Date: Oct 26 2009
A: So glad your friend's cat was spayed. It's very important for her health. If she's the only cat, it may be she's affected by the single cat syndrome. She needs the right companion to work out her high energy. Why not adopt a very playful, healthy kitten or young cat that is very cat-oriented--prefers cats to people--to keep her company. This will give your friend's cat an around the clock buddy, and she won't treat people as "her cats". You can refer to The Wilbourn Way of Introduction in my book THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING AND CARING FOR YOUR CAT. I do agree that her difficult start has added to her insecurity and fear. Good luck, and you can also refer to my site thecattherapist.com for more information.
