It is the season for a large number of newborn kittens to come again! Fans often feel worried about feeding cats in different months. Today, I have summarized the feeding methods of cats at different stages. We can take a seat according to the age of our cats.

If divided carefully, the cat's feeding stage can be divided into seven sections + one section.

Paragraph 1: 4-8 weeks

Cats usually weaned after two months, but some cats leave their mothers at one month old.

If your cat happens to be in the 4-8-week weaning transition period and their gastrointestinal function has not yet been developed, don’t rush to add food and nutritional supplements to the cat.

01

Feeding suggestions

Status: Soft soaked with kitten milk cake + pet goat milk powder

Nutritional products: pet probiotics (help digestion and absorption) + cream/nutrition cream (enhance resistance)

Note: Keep warm, eat less and eat more, and replenish water in time

Secondary: Cats of 8-12 weeks old have begun to have the desire to eat hard cat food independently, and can be weaned at this time.

Milk powder can be used as a meal to increase nutrition, but the number of times should be reduced compared to before, 1-2 times a day.

During this period, the cat's body is in a period of rapid growth and needs more protein. We can add meat to the cat and replace it with kitten food to feed it.

The kittens' gastrointestinal function during this period is more complete than before, but they are still fragile.

02

Feeding suggestions

Status: Kitten Cat Food + Canned Staple Food

Nutritional Products: Pet Probiotics (help digestion and absorption) + Nutritional Paste (enhanced resistance) + Pet Goat Milk Powder

Note: Keep warm, eat less and eat more, and replenish water in time

The third paragraph: 3-4 months of age

This stage is the "embarrassing period" for cats. Cats start to change teeth and fetal hair, which is the ugliest period in the life of cats, and it is also a period that requires a lot of comprehensive nutrition.

Do not give the cats soaked food again during this period, so as not to fail to replace the teeth and form double rows of teeth.

Let cats be exposed to pure meat to release their nature. Poultry meat is the first choice, which is easier to digest and is suitable for kittens whose intestines are still fragile at this time.

03

Feeding suggestions

Status: Kitten Cat Food + Canned Staple Food

Food Meals: Chicken, duck, fish, egg yolk

Nutritional Products: Nutritional Paste (Enhanced Resistance) + Fish Oil + Lecithin + Seaweed Powder

Snacks: Bone Mine

Note: Keep warm and hydrate in time

Section 4: 5-6 months old

This is a stage of major changes in cat size. Not only does the amount of activity increase greatly, but the muscles and bones will also become stronger as they parkour, requiring more protein and calcium.

04

Feeding suggestions

Status: Kitten Cat Food + Canned Staple Food

Meals: Beef + Egg Yolk

Nutritional Products: Nutritional Paste (Enhanced Resistance) + Fish Oil + Lecithin + Seaweed Powder + Calcium

Snacks: Bones + Meat Snacks

Stills: Cats over 7-12 months of age will begin to develop sexual maturity, and they will periodically release estrus signals. By about 8 months of age, the estrus behavior has become quite obvious.

At this stage, cats' motor ability and brain development have reached their peak, making them more lively and active.

If you plan to sterilize your cat, the more scientific advice now is to do it before the cat is in heat for the first time!

The average age for cats to have estrus for the first time is 9 months, so it is recommended to sterilize between 6 and 8 months. This is also the best time for cats to sterilize, but you must ensure that all vaccines and deworming are done.

One thing to note is that female cats must avoid the development period of erotic development.

05

Feeding suggestions

Status: Gradually transition from kitten food to adult cat food + canned food

Shower: 1/4 of the adult cat's weight during this period, the number of feeds can be reduced to 2 times a day.

Paragraph 6: 1-6 years old

The cat is already an adult cat, and the cat's metabolism will slow down at this stage.

If you do not adjust your diet and help your cat increase exercise, the cat may become a big fat man.

For cats who do not restrain their appetite, "timed and quantitative" feeding methods can be adopted.

This can develop cat conditioned reflexes, which will secrete gastric juice at a fixed time point, which can increase cat's appetite and promote digestion and absorption.

06

Feeding suggestions

Status: Adult cat food (low-fat cat food can be considered) + Canned staple food

Add meals: Chicken, fish, egg yolk

Nutritional products: Hair cream + vitamins + probiotics + lecithin + trace elements

Snacks: Meat snacks

Paragraph 7: Cats over 7 years old have already entered the old age.

Their activity volume will be reduced, so be sure to help them reduce their appetite in moderation to prevent them from getting obese.

In addition, some cats have deteriorated their digestive system after entering the elderly, and their bodies will become thin because they cannot absorb all the nutrients in the food. These cats should eat less and eat more..

07

Feeding suggestions

Status: Adult cat food

Adult meals: Chicken, fish, egg yolk

Nutritional additions: Nutrition cream + hair cream + calcium tablets + vitamins + probiotics + lecithin + trace elements

Snacks: Meat snacks

Special period: Within one week after the female cat in the breeding period, its food intake begins to increase and its weight gain, mainly because the body needs to save energy for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

From the last mating date, the pregnancy period of a cat is usually 60 to 66 days.

In the last two weeks of pregnancy, the female cat will eat twice the usual food.

By the fifth or sixth week of breastfeeding, the female cat needs three times as much food as before mating.

08

Feeding suggestions

Status: Adult cat food/Special food for pregnancy

Add meals: chicken, fish, egg yolk

Nutritional products: goat milk powder + folic acid + taurine + vitamin + nutritional cream + calcium

The above are the differences between cats' feeding at eight different stages!

Only by feeding cats properly can we live healthier and longer and stay with us for a longer time. So shovelers must not ignore these little details.
