Cats, being carnivores, will eat most types of meat whether it be cooked or raw chicken, turkey, rabbit, lamb. Cats that have access to outside will often hunt and eat mice, birds or other wildlife. Tuna and white fish are also usually accepted quite readily and many owners serve this as a treat.

While cats predominantly need meat, there are some cats that will happily nibble on certain vegetables. However, little nutrition is gained from this so it is best to stick to meaty foods.

Make sure you do not give your cat too much cheese. it can make them sick or have diarrhea.

Wet cat food is a popular choice. Cats can also eat raw and cooked meat. A cat that has access to outside may also hunt and eat small animals such as mice and birds.

What kind of food kitty eat?

kitten chow or formulated food especially for kittens.


Why do kittens need to eat food that is labeled specifically for kittens?

Kittens need large amounts of energy. About two to three times more than an adult cat. Kittens also need a lot of protein. Make sure the food you offer is made for kittens. Your pet will need to eat kitten-formula food until she reaches maturity, at about one year of age.


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 does female feral cat feed kittens after 8 weeks and does she regurgitate food she has already eaten?

I am not positive but I think that she either catches prey, or if she's a house cat, she let's her kittens eat kitten or cat food.


How much food should a kitten eat daily?

There is no correct answer for this, as how much a kitten eats can depend on several factors: The kitten's age, size, activity level, appetite and the quality of food being fed. A cat's food is also a huge factor in how much it eats: A cat will eat far more if fed a lower quality food to get the nutrition it needs, and will eat much less if fed a premium quality food that has a high meat content and no grains. Kittens on growth spurts also tend to eat much more also. Kittens can eat as little as 100g or 200g of canned/pouched food and as much as 400g or 500g in a day. Kittens often need much more food than an adult cat as they are still growing and developing. It is advised to feed as much as it wants until it reaches a year old. Be sure to feed small but frequent meals, especially for younger kittens as they have small stomachs.

What is a kittens favorite food to eat?

kittens dont realy have a favorite food. you should try one food at a time to see which food it likes better. but if you try one and it likes it do not change that food to another food because other foods may not agree with the kittens stomach after eating sertain foods. if the kitten spits up after eating one type of food get rid of the food as soon as you can and find another food. only use wet food or dry food when feedinga kitten that is weaned. if the kitten still drinks milk i would recemend using a milk replacement mix called (PetAg) KMR. all my kittens liked that stuff the best over all the kitten mixes. its a mix in a can that you just add water to. its good for kitten milk replacement if a kitten lost its mother
