Not all kittens. It depends on what age they are at. If you find a kitten that's about four weeks old, they may start eating regular solid foods by themselves or they may take a little bit of time to get used to that. Depending on their age that you find them, you may have to give them some milk replacer for a short period of time before weaning them off. And again, if they're a little bit older, they may just start eating solid foods regularly.
