Hey I'm wondering if you can help me. I'm getting a 10 week old kitten tomorrow and it is used to eating whiskas dry food. I have two 1 year old kitties who like Feringa wet food. I've ordered some feringa kitten which I'll try him on when he's settled but I need something to give him until then. I know supermarkets aren't great for cat food so I'd appreciate any suggestions!

I agree with Vanessa, best not to make any sudden changes to the kitten's diet or it could cause an upset tummy.

If you want a wet food that's available in supermarkets, go for 'Felix As Good As It Looks Kitten Food', which is liked by most kittens and although not a great quality food it's a good place to start when you are weaning a kitty off dry food onto wet.

Once you've got him off the dry food then you can slowly introduce better quality wet foods such as Feringa Kitten, Hilife Kitten, Natures Menu Kitten etc. But only a teaspoonful at first of the new, on a saucer alongside his regular food. If he eats the new food then gradually increase the amount of the new whilst decreasing the amount of the old food.
