My cat is 7 months old now and is starting to get pudgy. I know kitten food is higher in calorie. Is it OK at 7 months old to start giving him adult cat food instead now.
Francis
I would check with your vet, but most of the time, they are supposed to have kitten food until they are a year old.
Lillie
Should be fine to start now.
Davis
Now would be fine, try and get a low ash content, its the best for them
Bennett
8 MONTHS TO A YEAR
Lore
Yes you can feed your cat adult food now, he will most likely really enjoy the different flavours that you can get in the adult food range. Good Luck
Asley
Im reading a book right now that says to feed it kitten food for a year before switching to adult cat food.
Gwenn
Ive always heard kitten food until theyre a year old.
Jeremiah
I think it would be okay to start switching it now. My kitten is about five months old and hasnt eaten kitten food for the last month or so. She doesnt really like it and my other cat would sit and eat it all! So now they both get the adult food.

Usually the food packs tells you exactly what are the ages you can feed what. Look in Iams or any of those that gives you the complete info about the type of cat and age. For example i feed my cat Adult 7+ indoor, because is what she is 9 and stays indoor because she is blind. Look for that information and your kitty will be good. And remember that if they spend a lot of calories running and playing is ok that they eat more to play more... Male cats also are more active sometimes.

At what age should I switch my kitten to adult food? Most commercial kitten foods are developed to feed until 12 months of age. At that point, you can switch your kitten to adult cat food.
Curtis
Probably wont hurt to start him on adult food I think my 2 cats were around 8 months when we started them on adult food they were getting fat so we asked our vet if we could and he said yea.
Julius
4 to 6 months is a good ageso it is time that your kitty eat adult food
Darlene
I also have a kitten thats 7 months old the kitten chow bag reads to keep them on it until they re 12 months old,
Tona
Really.. theres is no set rule but I was told by vets and by the people at PetSmart that at one year(generally) one can start feeding adult kitty food to the pet

"Kitten" food is a marketing ploy and means nothing. The extra meat protein and fat is good for all cats, whatever their age. Do you seriously think the mother cat brings her kittens special "kitten mice" when she weans them? Quality food is the issue when you get a new food. The premium brands have wholesome meat sources and NO CORN. If you are going to purchase adult food with corn in it would be better to have him on kitten food all his life. Learn to read the labels on the bag or can of food you get for your cat (males should have 50% wet, 50% dry at a minimum)The first two ingredients will be from a wholesome meat source, chicken, chicken meal etc. The third will be rice, brown rice, pea, millet for the filler, not corn. You wont find these foods in a grocery store. Petco and Pet Smart have started carrying Natural Balance and they are excellent foods, both canned and dry. For other good foods, CA Natural, Wellness, Natures Variety (Prairie) etc. a small, owner-operated pet store will have them and also knowledgable people to help you select a food.

You should start now

Is your kitten neutered yet? They start to fill out once theyve been fixed. Please dont just switch your kittys food all of a sudden. Start mixing some grown up food with his kitten food and gradually add more until it is all grown up food. This will help him adjust and digest the food better. Always do this even if youre switching brands of food.
Felice
It usually says to feed kitten food for a year. Its suppose to have more nutrients for kittens. Some adult cat food have weight limits if the kitten meets those you probably could start feeding them adult food. If youre worried about your kitten getting overweight just make sure that he has toys to play with to exercise and you can also play with him to get him to run around. If hes active it should help from getting overweight, but kittens do grow fast. I have two 5 month old kittens that have grown so much already.
Jonas
One year. Maybe you are just feeding him too much.
