Not saying you're wrong about branded kitten food (I'd love to know the real difference in ingredients myself) but it just seems an odd reason to discount it. Your kittens don't really need that blanket or basket, so better shove 'em out in the garden like proper wild cats

My lot are definitely not wildcats............pampered basket kittys more like.

I just wouldn't feed my kittens/cats solely on processed cat food whatever brand it might be. I prefer a varied diet consisting mainly of raw minced beef, some cooked chicken or fish, tinned sardines or mackerel and a small bowl of dry adult food to graze on inbetween.

As with humans, if you feed your cats a variety of good quality food then there should be no need to buy these *special* kitten foods.
