How to Feed Your Pet Cat?

As we all know, each stage of life eats differently. The same applies to cats. When we feed our cats, we need to feed them according to different periods, different age characteristics and physiological characteristics. The feeding method for young kittens requires even more attention, and when the kitten grows into an adult cat, the food needs to be changed. Today we will discuss the method of feeding your pet cat.

• 2 months to 6 months of age

After weaning, kittens enter the rapid growth period, which will continue until they reach 6 months of age. During this period, kittens need a balanced diet with high protein and calorie content to provide them with the nutrients and energy they need for rapid growth. However, as kittens have small mouths, teeth and stomachs, they are unable to eat and digest a sufficient amount of food in one meal, so be careful to feed them in appropriate amounts.

• 6 months to 12 months of age

As kittens go through a rapid growth period and reach a size similar to an adult cat, their nutritional needs again differ. After six months of age, the growth rate starts to slow down and the activity level decreases slightly. At this time they eat a larger amount of food per meal, so the number of meals per day can be reduced.

• Change of cat food

When cats reach one year of age, they need to be switched to an adult cat food specially formulated for adult cats. Adult cats no longer need a lot of calories and a lot of nutrients. Remember to follow the same rule when changing pet food: gradually mix and change within 5-7 days. During this period of change of food, special attention should be paid to the weight of the cat and the feeding amount should be adjusted according to the cat's weight at all times.
