Introduction
Cats have different nutritional needs as they grow. A kitten needs high protein and fat for growth, while an adult cat needs a balanced diet to maintain healthy weight, and senior cats often need food that supports digestion and joint health.
By understanding these differences, you can choose the right food at the right time.
Feeding Kittens: Growth and Development
Kittens need energy-dense, high-protein food to support rapid growth. Look for food with high-quality animal protein and essential fatty acids.

Key Tips for All Life Stages

Always provide fresh water alongside dry food.

Monitor weight and body condition regularly.
