A small fluffy kitten has appeared in your house, your new family member. And in order for him to grow into a beautiful, and most importantly healthy cat, he needs proper care and nutrition, so today we’ll talk about proper nutrition.

What to feed a kitten up to 1 month

The main food is mother cat's milk. In some cases, when there are more than 5-6 kittens in a litter and the mother cat cannot feed all the kittens, you can give special milk for kittens Babycat 34 (Royal Canin), Perfect fit, Purina one or Beaphar Kitti-milk.

Today, the service of cat food with delivery is in demand, which is what we recommend using. Without wasting time, they will bring you the desired food in the required quantity directly to your home, which is very convenient and profitable. After all, during the time that you are running around the shops, you can devote precious time to your pet.

Kitten aged from 1.5 to 2 months

You can start giving your kitten low-fat baby curds, such as Tyoma or Agusha, (without fruit-filling fillers) and cow's milk. Scalded meat (beef) cut into small pieces. There is no need to stuff the kitten with food, they will eat - good, no, the mother cat will finish it. The number of feedings is approximately 6 times a day, the nutritional norm is 120-150 grams per day.

Kitten is from 3 to 6 months old (in active growth)

The kitten switches to mixed feeding, with every day more and more emphasis on dry food. During this period, the kitten is separated from the mother cat, and our pupils go to their new homes.

We highly recommend that in the first weeks, take a close look at your kitten to see if he eats with appetite, if everything is fine with his stool, if anyone is offending him. The number of feedings is 4 times a day, the daily norm is 180-240 g. per day. Don't be afraid to put more food in your kitten's bowl than he can eat. Cats, unlike dogs, do not eat in reserve.

The main food is dry food, canned meat, milk as needed (the cat very rarely drinks milk when she is not feeding kittens), beef.

Dry food - we recommend giving food such as Eukanuba for kittens (Ekonuba) and Iams for kittens (Yams), both brands belong to P & G, and are still produced in Europe. In specialized stores there are a lot of food from other brands, but we do not create advertising for this or that brand, we advise you to give what most experts recommend for cats and kittens.
