what kind of food do you feed your 4 months old kitten?

Answer 1

I would feed it either a properly balanced raw diet or a very good canned food such as By Nature Organics or Nature's Variety Instincts. Canned only of course.

Kittens don't need to eat "kitten" food. That is a nearly meaningless label applied by cat food mfrs.

Kittens will do better eating a good canned food in the right quantities to meet their nutritional needs.

Answer 2

Allow me to put your mind at ease-this is not necessarily a bad thing. Vegetables, fruits, and RAW meat and fish are much better for your cat or dog than kibbles or canned food. Kibbles and canned food are made with meat products which are labeled unfit for human consumption due to being low grade or even rotten, and are often soaked in kerosene, citronella, charcoal, and other chemicals. Kibbles and canned foods also contain things such as ground bones and poultry feathers, blood, and other by-products which are chemically processed, ground, formed into kibbles, then dried. Consider this: what are some major things that wild felines and canines known for? Their gleaming fangs and eyes, and their healthy coat. What do they eat? Raw meats and plants! Feline and canine systems are designed to be able to digest such foods, and they have a good bacteria in their mouths and digestive systems that destroys the bad bacteria found on raw meats. How can a solid pellet of chemicals and meat/plant by-products be healthier for them than something natural? More often than not, the foods in kibbles, especially the vegetables and fruits, have been so over-processed that they no longer hold the nutritional value they did in their raw state. The reason most veterinarians promote kibbles and canned foods is because if they don't, they risk losing a healthy amount of income. I've worked with them, I know. Things to avoid would be sweets, spicy foods, and anything containing caffiene. Chips and salsa may not be such a good idea either :) When feeding vegetables, steaming them is best, and you can even mix them in the blender to make a tasty veggie puree for the animals! Meats should be given raw. Fish and poultry are best for the feline diet, though beef products can be given as well. Best wishes!

Answer 3

My 4 month old is on dry food, Purina kitten chow and she's happy and healthy. Kitten food is better as it has more calories and vitamins for little ones. I love the fact I can just fill the bowl and she eats when she wants. Cats do not overeat like dogs do so no worries there and the dry food does not go bad. That and fresh water and she's good.

Answer 4

Quality canned food is best for cats. Wellness, Innova, Merrick, etc.

Do some research on feline nutrition and you will find out that grocery store dry cat foods are filled with crap that has little nutritional value and is NOT healthy long-term for your cat.

Brands like Iams, Whiskas, Purina, etc. can contain euthanized pets, road kill, diseased animal parts, anything that is not fit for human consumption. All of the garbage left over from human meats gets sent for rendering into pet food. Yum.

Answer 5

Buy a well nutritioned dry cat food from your local pet store or walmart...When you buy it make sure that it says something about kitten food on it and check out the ingredients and nutrions on it..

Good luck! Hopefully someone can give you a good brand name since Ive never actually had to buy kitten food except a few times.

Answer 6

I feed mine Science Diet kitten dry food and various kinds of wet food, I avoid Whiskas and Friskies, they're just chemically loaded with nonsense.

Answer 7

I feed kittens dry kitten food. The dry food is better for their teeth and promotes better muscular development. You can also leave a bowl of it out all day to encourage snacking without the food going bad or being a mess to clean up. Dry food is also cheaper. Any major brand of dry food will give your cat proper nutrition. If you feed dry food you don't need to recycle cans!

Answer 8

When I was a kid, my family fed all our pets dry Science Diet, and I have continued the tradition - my mother has worked for the same veterinary clinic for going on 30 years... and all of our pets have all lived to very ripe old ages with few to no health problems (other than just getting old and one very stupid yellow lab who ate 17 of my junior high DC trip fundraiser Heath bars). Anyway, go ahead and give one of their kitten varieties a try. I used, and have continued to use SD for my two kitties, and they always get rave check-ups - excellent teeth, beautiful coats, eyes, and ears, healthy hearts, and not overweight... one's going on 4 years old and the other, 5.
