    Any tricks? I’ve been trying to wean him for weeks and he just refuses. Right now I have the nipple of his bottle cut halfway off because I’m mixing the wet kitten food and formula, but when I try to move him to a bowl it’s a no-go. He’s even licked clam chowder from a spoon when I was distracted and taken a bite from a piece of bread, little bugger! But just will not be moved on the bottle thing. “/ Any help is appreciated!

    This might seem a little mean but let him go a little longer between a feeding and then try. At 7 weeks an hour off won’t really harm him but it sure will make him hungry lol. Since he stole some from a spoon before you can try putting some of his kitten mash in a spoon and then you gradually lower the spoon lower and lower until it’s in the bowl. Sometimes using a saucer works better than a bowl.
