How To Care for a 4-Week Old Kitten
Most kittens begin to eat solid food when they are between 4 and 5 weeks old. The mama cat (or you in the case of orphaned kittens) will still be nursing the kittens, and it's time to start weaning them onto solid food. Mix a little canned cat food formulated for kittens in with the formula and try serving it on a tablespoon or a very shallow dish. You may need to encourage your kitten to eat by rubbing a little on his lips, but he should catch on quickly. Also, have a very shallow dish of clean water available at all times. This is also a good time to add a low litter box that these little guys can climb in and out of easily.
