I just got a new kitten a few dys ago. He's 9 weeks old. He doesnt seem to be eatting the food I got him. I'm a first time cat owner. He doesn't seem to be eatting his food however I had some cooked meat earlier and he ate that with vigor. Is it just a food preffeance? Anything I can do to get him to eat his food?
Have him closed in a bathroom with his litter box and food/water dish till he gets use to the house.

Hi There,
I would offer the kitten different brands of kitten food, both canned and dry versions. If this fails, try strained meat baby food (with no onion added). Cats cannot go for very long without eating before they are at risk for developing serious liver problems.
This new baby needs to go in for a vet exam ASAP anyway, whether he is eating or not. It would be a good idea to take him in now, have him tested for feline leukemia, and while there you can ask your vet any questions you may have.
Good luck with the new little one!
Regards,
PHKitkat
