I have a 14 week old kitten and he likes adult food?

Question

I also have 2 older cats who eat adult food. There's really no other place to separate them to feed them since I leave the dry food out all day. Will it hit the kitten to eat the adult food? She always seems hungry.

Answer 1

Kitten, senior, adult… it matters not, it’s just a marketing label that allows manufacturers to charge more for that particular food.

For example… you pick up a can of Wellness kitten (chicken) and a can of Wellness Chicken) adult. Compare the percentages. The kitten food has 1% more protein and 1% more fat, which is what all kitten food manufacturers tout that growing kittens need more of. Well then where is it, because 1% is certainly not worth noting any comparable difference? And it’s like that across the board. Dry cat food has even LESS of a difference.

The main objective when feeding kittens is to feed more of a high quality food, more times per day because they burn it so fast even when they are doing nothing because they are growing. Kittens pretty much need to eat as much as they want… whenever they want it.

Kittens don’t need “kitten” food. Mother Nature did not make “kitten” mice and “adult” mice and “senior” mice. It’s the same mouse. The only difference is how much each cat needs to eat daily to thrive.

Answer 2

No, she's find to eat adult food.  At her age she should still be on kitten food, but It's not that big of a deal if she eats adult food instead.  One thing though is that it's a lot better for the cats if you feed them at set times, twice a day, and then take the food away after they finish eating.  If you leave it out all day, your cats will tend to become overweight.

Answer 3

if the kittins teeth can break the food, it shouldent hurt the cat. my kittens ate adult food with their mom. they are fine.
