Aged 12 weeks?

I dont pick them up until August but i'd like to be ready and get the food in while i can.

I had thought of getting them Royal Canin but apparantly its not the best??

Is Natures Menu & Orijen the best then? And am i right in thinking i can feed them RAW with the above?

Thank you for your advice

Hi Charlie,

Im curious what have you heard about Royal Canin to think its not the best food to feed your kittens? I use Royal Canin,James Wellbeloved,Almonature.
Wet foods, Natures menu,raw rabbit,chicken,white fish, a very small amount of tuna now and again, oh and Applaws which is a great food.Not tried Orijen but beleive its a good food.

Also bear in mind to use whatever the breeder/previous owner has fed them on while you introduce them onto foods you will be feeding them eventually.

Good luck with your new babies!

Alot of peeps use the Orijen.. the only thing I found is that the kibble is quite big! So not sure how that would go down for a a little kitten.

My 2 are on James Wellbeloved for kittens and I give them a tin of Applaws each day as a suplement

I've just trawled through the 19 page 'what do you feed your cat' thread and theres lots of mixed views and opinions!

I like the idea of JWB and natures menu / Applaws - i understand there will be a change over but i'd like to get them on something good from an early age.

What actually is the changeover period - is it the same with dogs (about a week?)

Forgot to ask - can you feed two different types of dry at the same time? So maybe JWB for lunch and RC for tea?

Yea, I have both and it's mixed together in a big tub, lol

Yes, a week is normally ok, but just go by how the cat takes to it

There was a bit of controversy last year regarding RC and it came out just after the poisoning scare in certain well known brand pet foods. With this happening a lot of the ingredients in all foods were being scrutinised and it was found that RC contained a potentially toxic substance called melamine.
