Congrats! Eight weeks is about right to take a kitten away from Mum. I suppose you could feed your cat raw meat or something but I would be worried about parasites and cooked meat isn't as nutritious. I knew a woman who only fed her cat raw turkey and raw rabbit and he grew to be enormous and fit. I know there is a thread on the main board about tips on what to feed your pet (especially after the contaminated pet food of earlier this year) so I know that will have lots of advice.

Thanks for the advice. The owner of Kitty Mama said she will give me Snega when the time is right (I am assuming about six weeks?).

The Ethiopians eat raw meat (kitfo) so it's probably alright for the cat too!
