Normally, the kitten weaning process begins at about four weeks of age. âWith mom, theyâll start to try to eat her food, and sheâll push them away from her,â says Benson. But if youâre weaning a kitten that has been orphaned, you can start a little earlier, between three and four weeks. Supplement with formula if the kitten is not taking to the new food, to make sure it gets enough calories. 2  Weeks 5-6: The weaning kittens should start to nibble on the kibble, slightly moistened with water. 3  Weeks 6-7: By now, the kitten weaning process is complete, and they should be eating all solid food by week seven.
If you only feed dry food to your adult cat, we suggest setting out the recommended measured amount of food each morning so your cat can eat as he or she pleases throughout the day. The amount of food required to maintain an ideal body condition will vary depending on age, activity and environment.ittens will generally start to nibble on solid food at 3 - 4 weeks of age. After 8 weeks of age, kittens will normally eat dry or moistened food at will. We recommend that you begin offering moistened dry food at 3 - 4 weeks old and make it available to kittens at all times through the weaning stage at 6 - 8 weeks old.
