KITTEN NUTRITION
TIPS
Special Kitten Needs:
- Ultra Premium foods with higher levels of essential protein, fat,
vitamins, and minerals while avoiding non-nutritional and harmful “by-products” and
fillers
- Non-grain based foods as Cats and Kittens are carnivores and naturally
require the highest level of protein.
- Plenty of fresh water as it is essential that cat’s of all
ages drink regularly as they will generally not drink from stale water
sources
- Measured feedings left throughout the day supplemented with canned
varieties to increase the moisture in their diet. Discard stale leftovers
to ensure eating.
- Easy access to a clean and maintained litter
pan
- Regular play encouraging toys and scratching
pads/trees/or posts. Avoid playing with hands or feet in order
to discourage unwanted biting in adult cats.
- Regular
brushing to reduce the build-up of hairballs or excessive shedding.
Things to Consider:
- Providing scratching
surfaces that are appropriate as an alternative to furniture,
carpets, and other valued surfaces
- Drinking fountains that provide fresh moving water to encourage regular
drinking.
- Climbing
towers, scratching
pads, posts, and other interactive toys to ensure kittens have
regular exercise, reducing the chance of the development of destructive
behaviors.
- Wand
toys, ball toys, and small plush toys that will encourage play
