Is there a cat food that both kittens and adult cats can eat together?

Andy

I have two new kittens and 4 adult cats. I am trying to give the kittens Kitten Chow but the adult cats keep eating it. I need to find a cat food that both Kittens and Adult cats can eat together. Do they make a cat food for all cats?

Sure! Many high-quality foods are all life stages. http://www. wellnesspetfood. com/cat_welln…http://www. evopet. com/products/default. a…http://www. evopet. com/products/default. a…http://www. solidgoldhealth. com/products/…http://www. solidgoldhealth. com/products/…http://www. solidgoldhealth. com/products/…Both Wellness and Solid Gold can actually be found at your local PetCo. You might need to go to an independent pet store or a tack/feed store to find Evo. Did you know that Purina products arent good for cats? Flip over the packages and check out the ingredients. If you see corn, corn meal, gluten, soy, wheat, animal byproducts or animal digest, it shouldnt be fed to cats. The reason is that corn, corn meal gluten, soy and wheat are fillers that are only added to cat food to bulk it up. Animal byproducts are the parts of slaughtered animals (beaks, feet, intestines, lips, etc) that are not fit for human consumption. They are very poor protein sources. What you DO want to look for in a cat food is a named, whole meat or meat meal (chicken, chicken meal, etc) as the first ingredient(s). Cats are obligate carnivores - they need their meat-based diets! :)Ive linked you to some other brands below; some of them make All Life Stages formulas, and some dont. Best of luck!

If you feed a better quality food, you can feed it to both your cat and kitten. The better quality foods have plenty of nutrition for growing kittens. Its really all about nutrition, not special kitten formula. Kitten food is really a marketing gimmick. If you dont believe me, then I challenge you to go to a pet store that sells Blue Buffalo, Wellness, California Natural, Innova and the premium foods. Compare an "adult" bags protein and ingredients to a bag of Purina Kitten Chow. There is more nutrition in the "adult" formula of the premium food than in the special kitten formula that youre using now. My foster kittens are all fed Innovas EVO (mostly canned) and they thrive.

Well, that depends on what you want your cat to look like. Typically kitten food causes adult cats to get fatter. Adult cat food will not harm the kitten, but it will not add all of the nutrients they need while growing. One thing you can do is use an adult cat food, but soften it with a little milk for the kittens.

If you really want to keep both foods separately instead of using only kitten food you can get a box and cut a hole or two big enough for only the two kittens to get into. Keep their food under there.

Why are you feeding kitten chow? how about this? Thee really isnt a difference between kitten chow and senior nor between indoor and active food!!! It is called advertising and it is killing pets. They all need appropriate food for the speciesFor multiple cats, wellness has 12 1/2 oz cans. that would come out cheaper and food prices do not include vet bills Nutrition since there are so many bad things out there is very important to your cat’s healthContrary to what you may have heard; dry foods are not a great thing to feed a cat. Please read the label on what you are feeding? What are the ingredients? Do you know what they mean? Is the first ingredient a muscle meat like chicken or meal or other things? http://www. catinfo. org/#Learn_How_To_Rea…http://iml. jou. ufl. edu/projects/Spring04…Dry foods are the number 1 cause of diabetes in cats as well as being a huge contributing factor to kidney disease, obesity, crystals, u. t.i’s and a host of other problems. Male cats are especially prone to blockagesfrom dry food. Food allergies are very common when feeding dry foods. Rashes, scabs behind the tail and on the chin are all symptoms The problems associated with Dry food is that they are loaded with grains and carbohydrates which many cats (carnivores) cannot process. ( Have a fat cat?)Also, Most of the moisture a cat needs is suppose to be in the food but in Dry, 95% of it is zapped out of dry foods in the processing. Another thing, most use horrible ingredients and dont use a muscle meat as the primary ingredient and use vegetable based protein versus animal. Not good for an animal that has to eat meat to survive. http://www. catinfo. org/#My_Cat_is_Doing_…You want to pick a canned food w/o gravy (gravy=carbs) that uses a muscle meat as the first ingredient and doesnt have corn at least in the first 3 ingredients if at all. THE BEST CAT FOODS CONTAIN NO GRAINS NO BYPRODUCTS Cats are meat eaters not cereal or rice eaters Fancy feast is a middle grade food with 9lives, friskies whiskas lower grade canned and wellness and merrick upper grade human quality foods. I would rather feed a middle grade canned food then the top of the line dry food. Also, dry food is not proven to be better for teeth. Does a hard pretzel clean your teeth or do pieces of it get stuck? http://www. felinefuture. com/nutrition/bp… Please read about cat nutrition. http://www. catinfo. org/ http://www. catinfo. org/feline_obesity. ht… http://maxshouse. com/feline_nutrition. ht… Vetinarian diets The reason your vet thinks so highly of the pet food they sell probably has more to do with money than nutrition. In vet school, the only classes offered on nutrition usually last a few weeks, and are taught by representatives from the pet food companies. Vet students may also receive free food for their own dogs and cats at home. They could get an Iams notebook, a Purina purse and some free pizza. http://iml. jou. ufl. edu/projects/Spring04…Nutritional Education Program website page for the American College of Veterinary Nutrition.
