How long can a 9 day old kitten stay alive without food.?

No, I don't plan on starving them, I have some kittens and I am wondering if they stayed that long without it.
Answers:
Not very long as suckling is not only there source of nutrition but of fluid a maximum of three days otherwise they will need to be hand reared.
not long one or two days
Not very long Im sure if you wait it out you'll find out .
two days
can allive about 1 week without food
no, these kittens need their nutrition. they need it to be able to grow older. they will only stay for about 3 days without food. but they must have milk or water otherwise they will die in 2.
I don't know how long they would stay alive without food. why don't you stop feeding them and see.
They prolly would not survive.. normally 3 days without food or water will cause irreversable liver damage to a cat. Kittens that age should be feeding several times a day.. best to leave it to Mom.
Adult cats (and, as my kitten demonstrated to me by refusing to eat for that long, 5-month-old kittens) can fast for 3 days without taking harm (but they need water).

9-day-old kitten. just make sure they are fed regularly from this point on and hope for the best.
