What can you feed an 8 week old kitten?

You mean, when do they start eating solid food? I'm not exactly sure, but I think it's around 6 to 8 weeks old. One of my cats was 2 weeks old when I got her, so I had to feed her that special liquid kitten formula, as she was not old enough to eat solid food.

I started feeding her solid food when she was around 8 weeks old. I suppose I could have started earlier; I'm not sure. But the first night I brought her home, I didn't realize she was too young for solid food, so I fed her some chicken and she had horrible diarrhea all over the down quilt on my bed. So, since I really did not want to have that experience again, I kept feeding her the kitten formula until I was positive that she could eat solid food.

You can buy this special milk-like kitten formula at most pet supply stores. It typically comes with a powder supplement, and you mix a certain amount of the powder into the formula, depending on the kitten's age.
