Cats have low resistance during the early years (0-2 months), try not to let young cats leave their mothers, and should be fed mainly with breast milk + goat milk powder during this period.
Please do not feed cats milk, most cats are lactose intolerant.

If your cat does not like water, consider changing to a different style of water fountain or adding water when consuming canned food.
3. Amount and frequency of food
Food for cats should be divided into multiple feedings and only the right amount of food should be fed each time.
