To introduce an orphaned kitten to a nursing cat, start by rubbing a towel on the nursing cat to transfer her scent to the towel. Then, gently rub the orphaned kitten with the same towel to transfer the scent. Place the orphaned kitten near the nursing cat and monitor their interaction closely. The nursing cat may accept the orphaned kitten and begin nursing it. Be patient and give them time to adjust to each other.

When kittens are very young they nurse to get milk from their mother, but this is a very special time for the kitten to be loved, cuddled, cleaned, etc. by their mother. They have fond memories of being taken care of by their mother. When a male cat comes along (especially one that is friendly with the kitten) the kitten will try to nurse for comfort and security. There is nothing wrong with this behavior my kittens do this occasionally.

It depends on the age. If your cat is under 4 weeks, NO. A big fat NO. You can give a kitten purina kitten chow once it is weaned. If the kitten is 4 weeks or under, it will need KMR.
