I can't turn my back two seconds with these kittens!
The orange one LOVES people food...and he's a fast eater! I set down a plate of really spicy General Tso chicken one night to grab something to drink...he began chowing down hardcore and loved it. I was dishing out tres leche cake, he rapidly ate off the homemade whipped cream from a piece. And, just now, while I was putting something away, he slurped down a bunch of my coffee.
You guys, he's barely 8 weeks old...OMG. I swear, I'm going to end up with a sick kitten here.
Re: I can't turn my back two seconds with these kittens!
LOL, he is! So naughty, but so adorable. They are such love bugs.
Oh my, kittens are lightning fast! This is not just an amusing foible. You are right, some human foods could make him very sick. Onions especially (and garlic, chives, shallots) are a big problem, even a small amount could cause severe anemia and kidney failure.
Have you called your vet for advice? Does the kitten have plenty of kitten food available? Perhaps you know that if with their mother they would still be nursing at will (both the kitten's and the mother's -- she will bat them away when they are in the 4 month range). So while I would only feed two meals daily for an adult cat, a baby kitten needs kitten food available every hour or two.
Until you can train him to leave your food alone (and stay off the table and counters), put him in his carrier or another closed room while you eat. Also, google for "cat clicker training" for teaching methods. Yes, cats are trainable! GL.
