At what age do kittens start to eat on their own?
As part of the weaning process, kittens start to eat solid food around 3 to 4 weeks of age. At this time, kittens should be offered moist food or dry food moistened with water or milk replacer. Enough water should be added to form a soft but not liquid gruel. It is best to offer the same kitten food that will be fed after weaning to avoid stomach upsets. By six to eight weeks of age most kittens have learned to eat solid, unmoistened food.
