Re: Kitten Food

Hiya

I cant recommend cat food as my two are the most fussiest kitties on the planet so I have to fed them what they will eat rather than what I want them to! lol

As for the feeding times, after 12 weeks you should be feeding around 3 meals a day until around 6 months of age if thats any help.

Re: Kitten Food

Whiskas / Felix isn't really a good food to feed them as its full of rubbish.

I found with mine that when they were kittens they liked to try different food, and now they stick with Applaws and Hi-life perfection, as well as raw mince, chicken, lamb and pork.

I tried wet food from Zooplus but they didn't like it - I think they prefer the Applaws & Hi-Life because it actually looks like real meat, and not brains like most cat food!

As for biscuits, I would try and get them on a better one such as:

James Wellbeloved
Burns
Applaws Dry
Porta holistic (Zooplus)

Mine are on Royal Canin which I find really agrees with them but some people don't really like it on here - i guess its what works for your pet.

Re: Kitten Food

Hello
My kitten is 6 months and would eat anythng and everything. The food he loves most is the food he pinches! But I have got him into a routine of sorts

Breakfast - whiska kitten puch
Lunch - cooked chicken breast
Tea - Pilchards in tomato sauce or spring water

Overnight. I put down dried food such as

James well beloved
Science plan
Hills

He has water down all the time but prefers to drink the bath water!! Hope this helps a little
