The condition is also associated with other diseases that influence fat metabolism. When this process of fat metabolism is disrupted, the fat can accumulate in the liver in excessive amounts, thus resulting in a fatty liver.
As with any animal, it is best to allow a new baby kitten to have some time with his mother before introducing him to a new home. That way your new furry friend will adapt better and have time to learn some valuable life lessons first. The earliest that a kitten should leave itâs mother is 4 weeks. Eight weeks is the average age for weaning from the mother and introduction of solid foods. If you plan on bringing home a new furry little friend, 8 to 12 weeks would be an ideal age. A kitty needs time to learn from his mother, as well as playing and socializing with his brothers and sisters.
Warnings. 1  Weigh your kitten every day for the first two weeks. 2  It's best to leave kittens to their mother until they are at least 6 weeks old, although eight to 10 weeks is even kinder. 3  Consult a veterinarian if the kitten won't eat at all as this could be a sign of sickness. A kitten aged between six to 10 weeks old needs to be fed six to eight meals a day, while a kitten aged 10 weeks to six or seven months needs four meals a day and a kitten up to nine months needs three meals a day. 2  Note that it's not until adulthood that two meals a day for a cat is acceptable.
