Kitten Feeding Instructions: Kittens generally nibble solid foods at three to four weeks of age. Keep moistened Purina Kitten Chow available to these kittens at all times. After weaning, at six to eight weeks of age, kittens will normally eat dry or moistened food at will. If water is added, use no more than one part warm (not hot) liquid to three parts Purina Kitten Chow, changing frequently to ensure freshness.

Food consumption may vary during gestation, so feed the amount needed to maintain the pregnant female's good body condition. Food intake may double or even quadruple during lactation.
