Why wont my kitten drink water?

I have had my kitten for three days. She is very confident and comfortable around me & my mum. The first day she came she wouldnt eat the food(dry) we gave her which was exactly them same from the petshop, and wouldnt drink a thing! The next day we bought her (wet) food & milk we she gulped down so she is fed

Breakfeast: Wetfood & milk

Lunch: Dryfood

Dinner: wetfood

she always has a supply of water no matter what. I havnt moved her food and water & in the morning and at night I clean her water dish.

Why wont my kitten drink water & eat dryfood?How can I help her to want to eat and drink?

Answer #1

Thank you… Were just starting to get worried.. shesonly 9 weeks old so I say shes never hunted before either…

Answer #2

shes probably getting used to the new world shes in :) also, what I did when I got my kitten, I gave it a lot of milk. kittens are maybe to young for dry food? also, my kitten liked to eat yogurt ^-^

good luck =^_^=

Answer #3

awww the lil thing might have a upset tummy or summet

dont forget too that cats are predators and will hunt for their own food so she might be full up from the birds and mice ;)

Answer #4

depends on how old cat is might be use to wet food . If kitten won’t eat dry food also. Soak food with milk that should help.

Answer #5

Yes, try and give her some milk. Also, if you have any tuna around (like canned tuna), open the can and drain the juice into a little bowl for it. They love fishies : )

Good Luck : )
