    Two new kittens that are outdoors
    I just got two 9 week old kittens yesterday. They were brother and sister. They were outside cats. They were eating rats, pork and beans, meat, dog food, cat food. I just got them kitten chow but they barely eat it what should I do ? Also how do I teach them to be indoor kittens when they are usually outdoors all the time. Please let me know thanks :confused:

    Firstly don't worry too much about them not eating what your putting down, they are probably still hunting when they go out.

    To train them to be house cats your need to break the hunting habbit, keep them indoors for a while, they will get hungry enough to eat what you put down and slowly learn that that is their primary food supply.

    They are semi-ferral and only lots of human contact will break that instinct.
