Questions about my kitten (got her at 6weeks, had her for a month and a half):?
1. she licks me, my hands/arms/face and tries to eat my eyelashes sometimes, why so?
2. how do i stop her from sleeping on my head/hair and why does she do so?
3. she will only ever go outside if i am with her or someone else is there, does this mean shes scared of outside? shes gone OUTout on a lead and loved it
4. always hungry but has been wormed, so how much should i feed her?
5. should she have milk?
1. Yes that is normal, my kitten grew out of it, no need to really scold.
2. just hold her against your chest when you sleep together.
3. she might feel more comfortable with you, and that must be adorable with a leash, lol.
4. all kittens are hungry, she probably runs off her food, plus she's in her growing stage, she needs food, just like a new born baby. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
5. it wouldn't be a bad idea, to give her a formula from a store, she might be a little old for it, but it can't hurt her, if you think she's too old for formula then she's too old for milk. she was ready to leaver her mom at 6 weeks, so she doesn't really need it, but if you want a lil extra boost for her immune and vitamins.
Just love her and talk to her lots and everything will be fine!
good Luck!!
Six weeks is a little young for a kitten to be weaned from its mother. So she is quite bonded to you. No one really knows why cats and kittens do as they do. She seems to need to be close to you. Move her from your head and try cuddling her close to your chest or such. She will probably accept that as she can be aware of your breathing and have the warmth of your body. She should learn to sleep peacefully there.
Don't give her milk. (Humans are the only mammalian species that continues to consume milk after weaning. It is not necessary for her and cow's milk can give her diarrhea ). Just make sure she has dry food available in her bowl. Give her some quality canned food such as Wellness or Natural Balance. Meat is her natural food and it should be more satisfying for her. When she is about a year old a six ounce can of meat should be enough for her. pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com
She is still too young to be outside on her own so be grateful that she wants to stay in the security of your home. She can go out on the lead with you as often as you have time to take her.
1. she's doing this most likely because she was never properly weaned. You got her FAR too young. The youngest you should ever take a kitten from its mother and siblings is eight to twelve weeks. Why did you get such a young kitten?
2. again - probably because she was taken too young from her family. She's just trying to cuddle up to you as she would her siblings.
3. why do you want her to go outdoors? She'll end up hit by a car, eaten by a coyote, poisoned, catching diseases from other cats, etc, etc, etc. KEEP HER INDOORS where she belongs.
4. Young kittens should be fed as much as they want to eat. That's why she's "always hungry"! You're clearly not feeding her enough! And what are you feeding her? I'm betting it's a cheap grocery store dry made mostly of corn that's leaving her nutritionally starved. Cats and ESPECIALLY growing kittens - should be fed foods made with REAL MEAT and little to no grain. And fed canned food daily as well.

5. No, she should not. Cats are lactose intolerant.
Please buy yourself a book on how to care for kittens. You clearly don't have a clue!
