Yes, but the vitamins and minerals in the kitten food are much better for it. Anyway, the adult food won't kill it!

Can't afford kitten cat food at this time can i feed my 7 month old kitten with adult cat food?
Yes, of course. The nutritional needs of an adult cat and a kitten are the same; its just the amounts that should be fed to an adult or kitten that are different. For the most part, kitten and adult food from the same brand are the same, or at the very least, very similar in terms of ingredients and nutrients. Feeding a kitten adult food is absolutely fine. The biggest difference between the two is usually texture. Kitten food is usually softer in texture or has smaller pieces. Dry adult food pieces may be too big for a small kitten, but wet food can easily be mashed up in order to be eaten more easily. Premium cat food brands are suitable for both adults and kittens and do not offer a "kitten" range.
how much do I feed my 9 month kitten?
atleast 1/2 cup of dry food
should I feed my 9 month old kitten wet food?
I am sure I could feed my kitten wet food because wet food can help with hairballs and can be a good source of water especially because most cats don't drink a lot of water. My kitten is a Maine coon and has a ton of fur so wet food can help him digest hairballs.

How much should i feed my 5 month old devon rex kitten?
The amount of food that you should feed your 5-month-old Devon Rex kitten will depend on a number of factors, including its size, weight, activity level, and overall health. As a general guideline, you can feed your kitten two to three small meals per day. It's best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate portion size and nutritional needs for your kitten. The vet can also help you determine whether your kitten needs a kitten-specific diet or whether a regular adult cat food formula will suffice. In general, a 5-month-old kitten should be fed a balanced and nutritious diet that provides the protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals that it needs for growth and development. Look for a high-quality cat food that is formulated for kittens and meets the standards set by organizations like the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). Avoid feeding your kitten table scraps, as these can upset its digestive system and lead to nutritional imbalances. Also, be sure to provide plenty of fresh water for your kitten to drink and to keep its bowl filled throughout the day.
How long do kittens need kitten food?
Strictly speaking, healthy kittens do not "need" a specific kitten food. A kitten can eat adult cat food at any age, provided they are fully weaned. The nutritional needs of an adult cat and a kitten are the same; it is just the amounts that should be fed to an adult or kitten that are different. Kittens will often eat more than an adult cat, as they are still growing and developing, and need to be fed "little and often" due to their smaller stomachs. Adult cats need less food than kittens, and most are comfortable being fed twice a day. For the most part, kitten and adult food from the same brand are the same, or at the very least, very similar in terms of ingredients and nutrients. Feeding a kitten on adult food is absolutely fine. If you are unsure about the current kitten food you are feeding, compare the ingredients between the the kitten and adult versions and see what differences (if any) there are. The biggest difference between the two is usually texture. Kitten food is usually softer in texture or has smaller pieces. Dry adult food pieces may be too big for a small kitten, but wet food can easily be mashed up in order to be eaten more easily. Premium cat food brands are suitable for both adults and kittens and do not offer a "kitten" range.

How many scoops of food should you give your kitten?
Kittens are constantly growing and developing, so they need all the nutrients they can get. Typically, a kitten will need twice as much protein as an adult cat, so it is usually best to feed the kitten as much as it needs until it is around a year old. It really doesn't matter if you feed them just dry food or soft, as long as the food has plenty of meat in it and no cereals, grains or corn in. For young kittens, soft food will be easier for them to eat.
