How to raise kittens? How to feed kittens scientifically?

What are the cat food contraindications for kittens in different growth periods Kittens generally go through two stages of growth, namely the rapid growth period and the rapid maturity period.

In these two growth stages, the nutritional needs are not the same, so attention should be paid to the selection of kitten food. Only to ensure that the nutrition required in each period is satisfied can it grow up healthily.

◆ Rapid growth period (2~6 months)　

① At least three meals a day The rapid growth period is generally from the period after weaning to 6 months. During this period, due to the growth needs, kittens will need high nutrition, high protein and high calorie food, otherwise it will nourish its growth rate and health status. According to scientific statistics, the energy requirements of kittens during the rapid growth period are about twice as much as those of adult cats. However, kittens have small mouths, teeth and stomachs, so they cannot eat and digest enough energy in one meal, so cats in the rapid growth period should eat at least three meals a day.

② Specially formulated kitten food Because kittens need a lot of nutrition and heat, special attention should be paid to its nutritional composition and ratio when choosing cat food. Generally speaking, high-quality kitten food uses meat as the main ingredient, which is the main source of protein and calories. In addition, it should be easy to digest, because the intestinal digestive ability of kittens is weak. Here we recommend Nevik Premium Natural Kitten Food, which is carefully designed to meet the special nutritional needs of meowing cats for healthy growth, it is rich in animal protein ingredients and has highly absorbable nutrients. In addition, it contains deep-sea fish oil and a balance of required fatty acids that contribute to a smooth and soft coat. Regarding the pellets, it is especially designed for the young cat's mouth and chewing style, with moderate size, softness and hardness, unique flavor and good palatability.

◆ Rapid Maturity Period (6~12 months) When the kitten reaches the size of an adult cat, the nutritional needs are very different again. We know that when the cat reaches 6 months, the growth rate starts to slow down significantly. The amount of meals per meal starts to become larger at this stage, so the number of daily feedings should be reduced to avoid excess nutrition caused by multiple meals, which in turn leads to its obesity. Although the cat is very much like an adult cat at this time, it will still grow more or less. At this time, you can add a little nutritious canned cat food to the dry cat food to supplement their other nutritional needs for growth.

◆ Kitten food → adult cat food When the cat reaches 1 year old, its size tends to stabilize and it no longer needs a lot of nutrition and calories. At this time, the nutrition provided by the kitten food is obviously not in line with its needs, so at this time the cat should be slowly switched to cat food. In the process of changing the food, the proportion should be gradually increased until it is completely changed into cat food. The food change is usually completed within 7~10 days.

◆ Taboos

① Avoid feeding human food. Feeding human food to kittens will easily cause them to steal food as a bad habit. In addition, if cat food is fed followed by cooking food, it will easily cause nutritional disorders in kittens, which in turn will affect their healthy growth.　　② Never give kittens milk. Because many kittens lack the enzymes in their gut to digest and absorb milk, drinking milk will cause indigestion and diarrhea! Moreover, the composition of milk is different from that of cat milk.
