KITTENS
Kittens grow rapidly and reach 75% of their adult body weight by 6 months of age. When very young, they should be fed a food high in protein, calories and key nutrients but that is also easy to chew and digest.
A good quality kitten food will provide for all their needs.
For a healthy, happy cat, you need to keep it at the right weight throughout its life. Being overweight, or indeed underweight, can lead to serious health risks. It is good to get into the habit of checking your pet on a regular basis. The Pet Size O-Meter is the perfect tool to do this. We recommend checking your cat's body condition twice a week using the Pet Size-O-Meter from kittenhood to increase the chances of your cat living a long and healthy life.
WHEN CAN I START FEEDING MY KITTEN ADULT FOOD?
Kittens become cats around 9-12 months old and can be fed an adult or maintenance diet. We would strongly recommend that a vet has actually assessed your cat prior to making this decision, a vet of pet care specialist should be able to advise.
It is also important to remember that when you do transfer your kitten from a growth or kitten food to an adult food then remember to do so over a period of 7 days. Gradually introducing the adult food to the kitten food over time to allow the kitten's tummy to adjust.
