Re: new kittens - food and poo questions!
you can't really overfeed a growing kitten - little and often is great. A swift change-over from one type of food to another can cause poo problems. If it is just a little spot then keep an eye on it and if it continues a vet visit to ease any worries is in order. Go-cat is basically a dry food full of rubbish fillers (you feed it you pay for you cat to poop out about 95% of the contents - so it may seem cheap but it is a waste (no pun intended) in the long term. James Wellbeloved is a good dry food, as is Applaws dry and Orijen, - they will seem more expensive but will last ages and be much better for your kittens. With dry food, it causes a dehydrating effect so make sure there is plenty of fresh watrer and if they don't seem to be drinking enough invest in a water fountain.
Wet food - try to choose a food that is at least 50% meat (again, otherwise those Whiskas and Felix foods are only 4% meat and again you are paying for them to poop out the other 95%) - good wet foods are Natures Menu, Hi-life, Nature (pets@home own brand), Applaws, Tesco's Luxury etc.
Any piccies?
