I tired it dry and she totally ignored it, tried it soaked in both water and milk first, she wouldn't even sniff those. Only made into puree with milk will she take in but it HAS to be in a bottle! I hope this don't mean she is going to be extremely finicky!

Laura, why not try the food that is most like human food. In other words try things like fancy feast grilled chicken for example. It is like real pieces of chicken in a sauce. If that doesn't cut it try some tuna in oil and see what she thinks of that. She may very well be a finicky little one and you may have to go through a ton of different flavors and textures before she finds something she likes.

Oh another thing to give a go with it liver. Frost is my most picky eater. Nothing for him but Royal Canin Fit 32 and Royal Canin Sensible 33 mixed together. He will literally starve himself if he doesn't have those exact foods. And he will only eat kibble. But, if I have liver he cries for it. It's the ONLY other thing he will ever eat besides HIS kibble.

Keep trying girl some of the little ones can be really fussy. The answer is to try, try and try again. Different flavors, different textures, different brands and same goes for the kibble different flavors, different brands and different size kibble. Keep us posted.

Thanks.. I was planning to go out today to find something! Just didn't know where to start. I will try some of each of that. My older girls won't touch anything in gravy or not mushed all up.. they don't like the chopped stuff in grave, maybe that is what she will eat.

The Friskies Prime Filets food looks like people food; she might like that. What a little fussbudget! Usually kittens, once they're weaned, eat like horses. I've never had a fussy kitten.

I don't know much about bottle babies. I'm sure at that age they need some kitten food. However, if your vet agrees, try Royal Canin Sensitive. Fister loves it and Killiarn Kitties do too. Another one Fister loves is Royal Canin's Calm, but I don't give him much of that.

Good luck finding what she likes and what is good for her!

I'm pet sitting for a 9 week old kitten who has to have 500 mg of Lysine 2 times a day. What I do is give her the powder from a capsule mixed in with Whiskas Pouch Chicken or Fish. Just enough to get the medicine in her. Then I give her a full dish of the other stuff. Works like a charm!!

Butchie is a food whore and I am his pimp. He LOVES potato chips, apple turnovers (the filling), just about ANYTHING I'm eating. I refuse to eat standing up so I put him in my bedroom till I'm done. Gotta love that boy!!

Sorry, didn't mean to get off point here. Put down a can of kitten food with KMR over it. Try putting a little bit on a teaspoon, open her jaw with the spoon, and get it so that some of it is on the roof of her mouth. Keep doing it till she gets the idea. It took me 24 hours to wean Molly.

Laura, thank you for a good laugh this morning!

I have never dealt with a bottle baby, so I can't offer any suggestions.

But when I read this:

She STILL is not interested in eating anything she should eat. . . . she CAN eat but everything "cat" related she will not attempt to even try.. . . . and was screaming for her bottle when I came in here this morning

all I could think was: Little Squirt is training YOU!!!!

She wants to be held and cuddle and nice and warm and hand fed by mommy, hahaaa.
