Answer:

Friskies. My cat is about 9 1/2 months old and he just loves to eat friskies. and my doctor said it was a good way to make my cat grow strong.

Answer:

Food such as Friskies are incredibly low quality. The dry food is packed with grains and cereals that offer no nutritional value whatsoever to a cat or kitten, and both dry and wet varieties of Friskies have a very low meat content.

The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. Kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. Also, kittens have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is "little and often", as often as four to six times a day for very young kittens.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Weruva, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack, Wellness, EVO, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), HiLife (60% meat), Feline Fayre, to name a few.

At four weeks old, kittens are still fully dependent on their mother's milk. Kittens will begin taking an interest in their mother's solid food at around six to eight weeks old.

your recommendation is ill informed and may result in the death of the kitten. COW milk is high in lactose which the kittens cannot process. This will result in diarrhea and dehydration malnutrition and death. You are ignorant.
