If its a small kitten I feed mine dry food with some water in it to soften it up he enjoyed eating it
Soft food, kittens digestive system isn't as good as an older cat, give your kitten soft food for about 6-9 months
Always leave out a bowl of dry food....so they can nipple throughout the day.....cats need meat in their diet....or they will not grow properly....feed them wet food in the morn. And nite....they can split a can of wet food....and always fresh water for them....
