I think you are thinking of the phrase  the other way around , which does essentially mean the opposite, but in a specific way. The specific nature of the other way around is that it means that doing what you say in the opposite direction is correct, not necessarily the exact opposite.
You can offer your kitten either dry food, canned food, or both. Be sure to choose food which is designed for kittens. They require a diet which is especially rich in protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Cat food that is for adults is not sufficient.
What to Feed Orphan Kittens. Don't use cow's milk to feed newborn kittens. There are kitten milk replacement products available that are much better, such as Just Born Kitten Replacement Formula available from Petco (and other places). These replacement formulas are closer to that of a mother cat's milk.hatever method you are using to feed the kitten, keep the kitten upright (as in the top photo) and not on its back while it is feeding. Laying the kitten on its back will cause it to aspirate the formula into its lungs. The formula should be warmed before giving it to the kitten.
