Kittens have high caloric requirements because of their high energy level. Feed kittens under six months old canned kitten food three to four times daily, removing any uneaten food after ten minutes. Overfeeding can result in diarrhea and or vomiting. At about six to eight months of age, reduce canned feeding to two times daily. Dry kitten food and fresh water should be available at all times for kittens of all ages.
Cats enjoy a variety in their diet.
Feed moist food at room temperature and store uneaten food in a glass container in the refrigerator. Avoid uncooked food, and never give your cat bones. Milk can cause diarrhea and should be avoided in cats and kittens of all ages. Your cat or kitten requires fresh drinking water in a clean glass bowl at all times. Feed your cat what he likes.
