My kitten refuses cat food, only eats meat. What's the right diet?

Question

My Male Persian cat is about 2 month 15 days old and 900 grams in weight . He hates eating cat food and only likes meat and fish raw or boiled .He rather starves himself than eat cat food. So how should I frame his diet and how much should be fed and how frequently?

Thanks for using petocach! I'm sorry to hear your cat is having issues with food preferences. Unfortunately, he will need to eat kitten food in order to get the nutrients, vitamins and minerals he needs to grow. I would recommend trying a variety of wet kitten foods to see which he may like, and occasionally warming them in the microwave to help it smell more enticing. He should ideally be eating two meals of kitten food a day, which can be supplemented with small amounts of additional protein but kitten food should be the mainstay of his diet. Good luck!
