Kitty Meal Prepping
Feline nutritional science has made great advances in recent years. Commercial foods are now available to supply perfectly balanced diets depending on your cat’s age and lifestyle. From kittens through to older cats, and even specialty diets for cats with diseases. Long, healthy and happy lives are easily catered for. And just like parasite protection – it can be confusing. Your vet and clinic staff can advise you on the nutritional needs of your kitten.
The essential info
Their diet needs to be made-up of:
- Proteins*
- Carbohydrates*
- Fats*
- Vitamins and minerals
Remember to always provide fresh drinking water for your kitten and keep their food and water dishes away from litter boxes and where they sleep.
NB: Do not give your kitten cow’s milk as it can give them an upset tummy. If you wish to feed them milk, use one that is specially formulated for cats. Stomach upsets that persist for more than 24 hours require veterinary attention.
