I am getting a pair of male 3 month old kittens, and i was wondering if it was ok to give them dry cat food. If not what do you recomend? I am also trying to think of names for both, but i will look at their personallitys before naming them.

If youre going to use dry cat food, sure, 3 months is old enough. Kittens are generally started on solid food around 6 weeks, so the kittens youre getting have probably already BEEN on dry food. Just make sure you get quality food. Try to avoid foods with "by-product", "meal", and "corn" on the ingredients list. The FIRST listed ingredient should be meat. And make sure its either formulated especially for kittens OR fine for both cats and kittens (some of the holistic foods can be given to either).I would not, however, recommend a mainly dry food diet for the rest of their lives. This site changed my mind about dry food; http://www. catinfo. orgAnd for Gods sake, dry food does NOTHING for a cats teeth! When are people going to wake up?!

Yes, get kitten chow

At 3 months old, I think dry kitten food would be fine. Kittens are a lot of fun! Enjoy. Also, www. petplace. com has a lot of information for new pet owners.

Yes, they can certainly be on dry food now, you should be able to start them on any kitten formula food. Try to wean out the wet food (you can mix the wet and dry to start to make it an easy transition) because as their teeth get bigger, and they start teething the dry is going to be very important.

YES! Its better, too. I know some people like wet cat food for their cats, but it is not good for their teeth. It also makes is easier for them to become overweight. As for naming them, you could call one of them Dammit. And the other one could be Stank.

Actually they should stay on kitten food for about a year, remember they are growing boys
