Pick up a bag of crunchy dry with the kitten on the bag. Snag a couple of cans that said kitten formula. Pass out the food when they start getting rambunctious and hope for the best. Easy, right? Well, unfortunately, knowing how often to feed kittens and what to give them is a little bit of a science. You can\u2019t just assume all kittens are going to dive into dry or wet food, especially if they aren\u2019t ready for it yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, you\u2019re going to learn not only what to give your fuzzballs and when but also how often to feed kittens.

Normalerweise stillen Neugeborene ihre Mutter oder Pflegekatze. Wenn sie von ihrer Mutter getrennt werden, m\u00fcssen sie mit der Flasche gef\u00fcttert werden, bis sie alt genug f\u00fcr die Entw\u00f6hnung sind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petmd.com\/cat\/centers\/kitten\/nutrition\/evr_ct_weaning_kittens_what_to_feed_a_kitten\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">K\u00e4tzchen k\u00f6nnen bereits in der 3. bis 4. Woche entw\u00f6hnt werden<\/a> of age. Around that time, you can introduce some more solid foods. However, it\u2019s important to observe your kittens and their development. Some of them may not be ready to be weaned that early. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suchen Sie nach M\u00f6glichkeit bei der Katzenmutter nach Hinweisen, wann die Babys f\u00fcr feste Nahrung bereit sind.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-960x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Silber getigertes K\u00e4tzchen auf dem Boden\" class=\"wp-image-630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-960x1200.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-304x380.jpg 304w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-576x720.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1960.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-672x840.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silver-tabby-kitten-on-floor-stockpack-unsplash-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kitten-dietary-needs\">Ern\u00e4hrungsbed\u00fcrfnisse von K\u00e4tzchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">K\u00e4tzchen ben\u00f6tigen mehr als \u00e4ltere Katzen eine vollst\u00e4ndige und ausgewogene Ern\u00e4hrung. Die Nahrung muss reich an N\u00e4hrstoffen sein, die f\u00fcr die Entwicklung notwendig sind. Ohne diese Vitamine und Mineralien kann es bei Ihrem K\u00e4tzchen zu sch\u00e4dlichen M\u00e4ngeln kommen. Suchen Sie nach Nahrungsmitteln mit Eiwei\u00df, Kalzium und DHA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Never give your kitten cow\u2019s milk. While the flavor is tasty to cats, many of them are lactose intolerant after being weaned. This is because the enzyme needed to digest lactose disappears once a kitten stops suckling their mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sobald Ihre K\u00e4tzchen f\u00fcr Nass- und Trockenfutter bereit sind, gestalten Sie den \u00dcbergang einfach. Befeuchten Sie trockene Kroketten oder beginnen Sie mit kleinen Portionen nasser K\u00e4tzchenpastete. Etwas Wasser untermischen, bis es eher wie Haferflocken aussieht. Reduzieren Sie im Laufe von 2 Wochen die Menge Wasser, die Sie untermischen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mit etwa 8 Wochen fressen die meisten K\u00e4tzchen problemlos trockenes und nasses Katzenfutter. Sie k\u00f6nnen damit beginnen, eine gr\u00f6\u00dfere Vielfalt an Stilen und Geschmacksrichtungen anzubieten. Achten Sie nur darauf, dass Sie Futter speziell f\u00fcr K\u00e4tzchen w\u00e4hlen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-food-does-a-kitten-need-each-day\">Wie viel Futter braucht ein K\u00e4tzchen t\u00e4glich?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mithilfe dieses F\u00fctterungsplans k\u00f6nnen Sie herausfinden, wie oft Sie K\u00e4tzchen je nach Alter und Gewicht f\u00fcttern sollten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-one-kitten-feeding-schedule\">F\u00fctterungsplan f\u00fcr K\u00e4tzchen in der ersten Woche<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this time, kittens are very frail and weigh no more than 4 ounces. That said, they gain weight rapidly during the first few weeks of life thanks to their mother\u2019s nutrient-dense milk. You won\u2019t have to worry much during this time. Kittens won\u2019t need anything but their mother\u2019s milk at first. The only time you have to worry is when there is no mother cat around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wenn du musst <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.bestfriends.org\/article\/bottle-feeding-kittens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Ein K\u00e4tzchen mit der Flasche f\u00fcttern<\/a>, be prepared to do it more often than you\u2019d originally thought. Kittens generally nurse every 2-3 hours for about 45 minutes during Week One. Once they have eaten, they sleep. Each session should provide no more than 15 ml or 1 tablespoon of kitten formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Da dies jedoch arbeitsintensiv ist, sollten Sie versuchen, eine Ersatzkatze zu finden, die Ihnen beim Stillen des Kleinen hilft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-two-and-three-schedule\">Zeitplan f\u00fcr Woche zwei und drei<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kittens that are 2-3 weeks old still need to eat every 2-3 hours and will sleep a lot. They need about \u00bd a tablespoon of kitten formula each time. These next couple of weeks will be exciting, because the little fuzz balls are growing at a grueling pace. Their eyes start to open, and they begin moving around the space for the first time. Monitor the weight of the kittens. 10 ounces is considered healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-four-and-five\">Woche vier und f\u00fcnf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ich versuche herauszufinden, wie oft K\u00e4tzchen im Alter von 4 bis 5 Wochen gef\u00fcttert werden sollen. In diesem Zeitraum kommt es weniger auf die H\u00e4ufigkeit als vielmehr auf die Portionsgr\u00f6\u00dfe an. K\u00e4tzchen m\u00f6chten etwa dreimal am Tag ges\u00e4ugt werden und nehmen etwa 3 Essl\u00f6ffel S\u00e4uglingsnahrung zu sich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a 4-5 week old kitten is getting enough food, they will weigh around 14-16 oz. By the end of week 5, you won\u2019t need to worry about bottle feeding the little ones anymore. You can start placing the kitten formula in a saucer and let them lap it up from there. Since this is also the time mama cat would naturally wean the kittens, you may even want to introduce a little pate mixed into the formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-six\">Woche sechs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ab der sechsten Lebenswoche k\u00f6nnen Sie vom Kitten-Milchersatz auf Kitten-Pastete und Trockenfutter umsteigen. Machen Sie einen Brei (wie bereits erw\u00e4hnt), indem Sie Wasser in die trockenen Kroketten oder Pasteten mischen. Reduzieren Sie nach und nach die Wassermenge in der Mahlzeit. Tun Sie dies 1\u20132 Wochen lang viermal t\u00e4glich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By the end of week six, you can decrease the frequency of feeding to about 3 times a day. If you have two or more kittens, make sure you are putting down multiple plates of food. You don\u2019t want the kittens to become aggressive or fight over the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"week-seven-and-eight-kitten-feeding-schedule\">F\u00fctterungsplan f\u00fcr K\u00e4tzchen in Woche sieben und acht<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wenn die Mutterkatze herumh\u00e4ngt, kann sie ihre K\u00e4tzchen bis zum Alter von etwa 2 Monaten weiter s\u00e4ugen lassen. Versuchen die K\u00e4tzchen mehr zu stillen als zu fressen? Trennen Sie sie f\u00fcr eine gewisse Zeit von ihrer Mutter. Bis zum Ende der achten Woche sollten die K\u00e4tzchen dreimal t\u00e4glich Nass- und Trockenfutter wollen, anstatt ges\u00e4ugt zu werden.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-1200x901.jpg\" alt=\"Orange getigerte K\u00e4tzchen\" class=\"wp-image-631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-1200x901.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-380x285.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-720x541.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-2048x1538.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-1568x1177.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/orange-tabby-kittens-stockpack-unsplash-840x631.jpg 840w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-often-to-feed-kittens-canned-food\">Wie oft sollten K\u00e4tzchen mit Dosenfutter gef\u00fcttert werden?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once a kitten is older than 8 weeks old, you can take on a more relaxed style of feeding them. While they are still going to be ravenous and scream for food throughout the day, kittens won\u2019t need as much nutrition as they did at 2-3 weeks old. A kitten that is 12 weeks old can eat three separate meals a day, kind of like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Continue on with this schedule until about 6 months old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At 6 months, kittens have matured enough that they are near their adult weight and size. Keep an eye on your kitten\u2019s weight gain. If they gain weight too fast, you may have to put them on a diet. For kittens growing at an average pace, you can how often you feed them down to twice a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"it-s-chow-time\">It\u2019s Chow Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Figuring out how often to feed kittens comes down to how old they are and what they need. When kittens have their mother, you won\u2019t have to worry about feeding them often\u2014not until about 6-8 weeks old. Afterwards, kittens get fed three times a day until 6 months old. After that, it\u2019s twice daily for the rest of their lives (unless they need to go on a diet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erfahren Sie mehr \u00fcber Ihren katzenartigen Begleiter in unserem Beitrag: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/de\/interessante-fakten-uber-katzen\/\"><strong>Interessante Fakten \u00fcber Katzen<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"faqs\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">H\u00e4ufig gestellte Fragen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691673121877\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Wie viel Futter sollte man einem K\u00e4tzchen geben?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Als allgemeine Richtlinie finden Sie hier eine ungef\u00e4hre t\u00e4gliche Futtermenge f\u00fcr K\u00e4tzchen, basierend auf ihrem Alter:<br\/>6\u20138 Wochen: Etwa 1\/4 bis 1\/3 Tasse Nass- oder Trockenfutter, aufgeteilt auf mehrere Mahlzeiten.<br\/>8\u201312 Wochen: Etwa 1\/3 bis 1\/2 Tasse Nass- oder Trockenfutter, aufgeteilt auf mehrere Mahlzeiten.<br\/>3\u20136 Monate: Etwa 1\/2 bis 3\/4 Tasse Nass- oder Trockenfutter, aufgeteilt auf 3\u20134 Mahlzeiten.<br\/>6\u201312 Monate: Etwa 3\/4 bis 1 Tasse Nass- oder Trockenfutter, aufgeteilt auf 3 Mahlzeiten.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1691673190987\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Soll ich mein K\u00e4tzchen zwei- oder dreimal am Tag f\u00fcttern?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Eine allgemeine Richtlinie f\u00fcr die F\u00fctterungsh\u00e4ufigkeit basierend auf dem Alter Ihres K\u00e4tzchens lautet:<br\/>6\u20138 Wochen: In diesem Alter werden K\u00e4tzchen normalerweise noch ges\u00e4ugt oder auf feste Nahrung umgestellt.
