KITTENS DIET

I AM A STRONG BELIEVER IN GIVING KITTENS THE BEST DIET POSSIBLE FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST TWELVE TO EIGHTEEN MONTH'S OF THEIR LIFE. I WOULDN'T ADVISE FEEDING ANY ANIMAL A DIET OF JUST DRIED FOOD FROM DAY ONE. KITTENS NEED THE BEST POSSIBLE START IN LIFE TO AVOID ANY SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES LATER IN LIFE.

I FEED MY KITTENS FELIX OR WHISKAS KITTEN WET FOOD POUCHES THREE TO FOUR TIMES A DAY FROM FOUR TO FIVE WEEKS OF AGE. THE KITTENS ALSO HAVE "ROYAL CANIN" BABY CAT 34 STAGE ONE 0-4 MONTHS KITTEN DRY FOOD DOWN CONTINUOUSLY FOR THEM TO PICK AT IN BETWEEN MEALS. THE ONLY REASON THAT I FEED THE KITTENS THE ROYAL CANIN BABY CAT IS THE DRY NUGGETS ARE SO SMALL THAT IT ELIMINATES ANY RISK OF THE KITTENS CHOKING FROM THE KITTENS BEING FOUR WEEKS OF AGE.  BY THE TIME THE KITTENS LEAVE ME THEY WILL BE MORE THAN CAPABLE OF EATING "IAMS" KITTEN DRY FOOD IN A PURPLE BAG, AVAILABLE IN ALL LEADING SUPERMARKETS.

I ALSO FEED THE KITTENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY "DELAMERE" FRESH PASTEURISED WHOLE GOATS MILK, WHICH IS AVAILABLE FROM ALL LEADING SUPERMARKETS. IT COSTS AROUND £1.45 FOR A LITRE, AS OPPOSED TO THE SMALL CARTON ALLEGED SPECIALIST KITTEN MILK THAT THE SUPERMARKETS SELL FOR AROUND £1.20 FOR 100ML. THE SMALL CARTONS OF KITTEN MILK ARE JUST WHOLE GOATS MILK LOADED WITH PRESERVATIVES TO EXTEND ITS SHELF LIFE. FEEDING THE KITTENS THE GOATS MILK DEFINITELY GIVES THEM A BOAST NOT ONLY IN GROWTH BUT IT DEFINITELY BENEFITS THE KITTENS DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AS WELL AS HELPING TO LINE THEIR STOMACHS PROPERLY.

I ALSO GIVE THEM "DELAMERE" PROBIOTIC NATURAL GOATS YOGURT EVERY OTHER DAY WHICH ALSO HELPS THEIR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, GROWTH & APPETITE.

I USE "CATSAN" CAT LITTER WITH ALL MY CAT'S & KITTENS. IT IS VERY HYGIENIC & ECONOMICAL, OK IT DOE'S COST £8.00 TO £9.00 FOR A TWENTY LITRE BAG, BUT THIS WOULD LAST A SINGLE KITTEN/CAT FOUR WEEKS. JUST SCOOP OUT THE POO DAILY & CHANGE THE LITTER ONCE A WEEK. I DON'T RECOMMEND THE WOOD CHIP BASED CAT LITTER, BECAUSE ONCE THE PELLET BREAK DOWN TO DUST IT IRRITATES THE KITTEN/CATS AIR WAYS WHICH ISN'T A GOOD IDEA.
