I am getting a 3 and a half week old kitten soon and my parents and I are going to go to petsmart and buy milk replacer since it probably cant eat dry or canned food just yet . When can i stop using the milk replacer and give my kitten dry or wet food ?
I am getting a kitten without the mommmy cat so formula is my only option .

How does getting a kitten affect an older cat?

Kaylee asked:


We have the sweetest, most handsome cat in the world, Meeko. He is 13 and very friendly. He gets along great with our collie and the birds. We are thinking of getting a kitten. How do older cats usually react? Are they like dogs in the way that the kitten will liven up the older cat, or are they resentful? We would introduce them gradually, and we’ve also heard of rubbing the new kitten with household scents like our cat’s blanket. How does this usually work out? What do you suggest doing when bringing a new kitten home?

Is actual potty training my cat a good idea?

Liz asked:


I read about it, and it’s deffinately possible to train your cat to use a toilet. I’m getting a kitten soon and when it’s old enough I’m thinking about doing this. Do you think the cat would be ok with it or would it not like having to squat like that on the toilet? Is it comfortable for them do you think?
