A cat can stop having its kibble soaked at 3 months old, because by 3 months the kitten’s teeth are mostly grown; continuing too-soft food would harm dental development and oral health. At 3 months, the owner can gradually reduce the water in the kibble and transition to dry kitten food, following a small-frequent-meal principle with 3 to 4 meals spread across the day to avoid indigestion.
After the cat adapts for a while, you can start offering a little egg yolk or minced chicken breast to add nutrition.
