Feeding Habits

Our kittens are used to being fed four times a day, plus additional snacks from their Mums. Usual feeding times are breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper.

Quantities - Try one tablespoon per meal to start with. If this is not enough, you will soon be informed of the fact! As the kitten grows, increase the quantities and reduce the number of meals until, by 9 months (when the kitten is officially a cat) your cat is having two meals a day plus a good quality complete dried food (e.g. James Wellbeloved, IAMs or Hills Science Diet) and fresh water available at all times.

Apart from the dry cat food, never leave food down - always take away what is not eaten. Do not leave cat food in the tin once opened. It is best put in plastic container with a tight lid. Don’t feed straight from the fridge - food should fed be at room temperature. Never feed cows milk or milk products such as cheese or yoghurt, as this can cause severe tummy upset and diarrhoea (I have found that even one drop can do this). Vary your kitten’s diet as much as possible.
