This kitten appeared at our home when it was just a few days old. Her mother brought her to our home. But after a few days, her mother disappeared suddenly. That couple of weeks old kitten did not learn to eat anything except milk at that time. Now she becomes a 7 months old kitten & very playful as well as very sleepy. But surprisingly she eats only in the morning and after that, she won’t eat anything even if we serve her any food. It is a very surprising kitten food habit. I never expected such a weird habit.
Every morning the kitten needs fish, roti (Indian homemade flatbread) along with milk and a biscuit soaked in water. The kitten will continue meowing till she gets everything. But once she got all those food as her breakfast then she will be happy and never ask for food throughout the day. Even we offer her anything she won’t eat.
Though we feed her and she lives at our home whenever she wants to rest or play. But otherwise, she lives outside our home most of the time when she is not sleeping.
During an initial couple of months, we used to think the kitten was unwell. She plays a lot, sleeps a lot but she does not eat as much as my expectation.
But then gradually I came to know that the kitten is a master in hunting. Whenever she goes outside she hunts a lot in the garden and fills her own stomach. Probably this is why she only eats in the morning and rest of the days she survives by hunting her own food.
