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.

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.

What do baby cats eat?

Baby cats, also known as kittens, typically feed on their mother's milk for the first few weeks of life. If the mother is not available or unable to feed them, specialized kitten milk replacer can be used to ensure they receive the necessary nutrients for growth and development. As kittens grow, they can transition to solid kitten food that is high in protein and formulated for their specific dietary needs.
