Question
well hi i have 3 kittens and they have a mom but i need to know when i can start litter training them they are 2 weeks of age and i need to know how i can bottle feed them? please answer my questions and thank you for your time

Answer
Mallory,

Why do you want to bottle feed the kittens?   Is mama not nursing them?

Litter training does not need to begin until they are weaned (about 5-6 weeks of age) and are on solid food.  Just providing kitten sized litter pans with some of the "dirty" litter from mama's pan and putting them in the litter pans after they eat solid food is all you need to do.  They will have "accidents', but, all in all, kittens do figure out the litter pan thing.

Please let me know if you have more questions.

Best regards... Norm.
