One-month-old kittens can be raised through regular feeding, vaccination, litter box training, and regular deworming. One-month-old kittens are relatively fragile. When the owner is training, scolding sounds are usually not allowed. Otherwise, the kittens may be frightened or fearful, causing them to be unwilling to contact the owner. Gentle voice training is needed to make the kittens more vulnerable. The kitten feels that the owner is gentle, and then the kitten will cooperate with the owner's training on its own. Through regular feeding and vaccination, we can help strengthen our physique, supplement the body with the nutrients it needs, increase the chance of disease resistance, reduce the risk of disease, and help the body's development.

1. Feed regularly

One-month-old kittens have not fully developed their physical habits and are usually just weaned. You can feed them dog food, but they need to be soaked in warm water before feeding. If cat food is fed directly to kittens, it may affect food digestion and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, kittens can also be fed goat milk powder, which can supplement the nutrients needed in the body and is beneficial to the normal development of the body.

2. Injection of vaccines

One-month-old kittens have relatively weak body resistance and are prone to increase the risk of disease. It is recommended that owners take their kittens to the hospital regularly for vaccinations, including cat triple , rabies vaccine, in vitro anthelmintic vaccine, etc., can help enhance immunity and disease resistance, and reduce the number of illnesses.

3. Training to use the litter box

One-month-old kittens usually will not use the litter box. It is recommended that the owner trains the kitten in time to put the kitten’s feces into the litter box. Because kittens will search for odors through their own urine and feces, and then defecate or urinate. After multiple trainings, kittens will generally use the litter box.

4. Regular deworming

Kittens are easily infected with internal and external parasites. When the body is infected, it is easy to affect normal eating. It is recommended that owners deworm the kitten regularly. Use topical anthelmintics as well as oral anthelmintics.

If the kitten refuses to eat during the feeding period, it is recommended that the owner take the child to the hospital for treatment in time.
