Hi all,

I have a question regarding cat food. The kitten that I have was born on my parents porch (along with her 5 brothers and sisters). She is 7-8 weeks and when she started eating food we gave her regular cat food (not food for kittens). I took her to my apartment 6 days ago and started her on kitten food. I have a feeling its not good for her cause she eats little by little and goes to the bathroom many times a day. also she smells a bit. Should I switch her food? Any reccomendations to which food?

Thanks
Tali

Puppy and kitten food is higher in proteins to help with growth/development etc,it will definatly pay in the short and long term to feed her a quality diet.I feed my cats royal canin kitten 34.Has she been wormed recently?

yes on Sunday

Worming can sometimes upset tummies,but generally cats poo is smelly as the norm

so you think we should try a different brand of kitten food? does it upset their tummies if you switch foods on them too often?

Maybe put her on a light and fresh food diet(if you can) such as white chicken chopped and mixed with 1/3 of pouch, or sardines with a bit of rice pudding,white fish mixed with 1/3 pouch Pouches will give your kitt smellier poo's-it's a usual given,but as said coz she's only just been wormed this will also contribute Btw Hi Tali and welcomeSwitching to new food and new surroundings can contribute to smelly poo's-she should settle soon though

Hiya!

natures menu kitten food is good, you can get it from pets at home its 65% meat and doesnt contain the harmful fillers that the majority of cat food does. I would wean her to a different food, dont ever change food drastically it will upset her. The worming has probably upset her tum too.

I have to say Royal canin is not good, my cat was on that and felix (4% meat!!) she has very smelly loose poo, its taken me 7 weeks to wean her off them and shes 100% better.

Dry food generally is not great but if you do use it orijen or OrganiPets Organic Pet Food

When asked why, the boy explained that the stranded starfish would die if left to lie in the morning sun. ‘But there are millions of starfish on this beach' said the old man. ‘How can your efforts make a difference?’The boy picked up another starfish and placed it in the waves. ‘It makes a difference to this one.' he said
