My two kittens are 10 months old and will be a 1 year in April, anyone have suggestions on when to switch to Adult and how? Do you mix the foods?

Thanks

As a Mom of a three yr old who eats kitten I say no hurry but that was after confiming it with my vet ...


General rule start mixing kitten with adult for a few weeks around age one...

Yes now you could start mixing adult and kitten if desired ...

Are you kittens still growing??? how active are they ??/ are they gaining more wt than they should???

I think they are pretty much their adult size. They are very active. Max is long and thin, while Sarah is (not heavy, but thicker), but they both love to play & run around. But I always thought at 1 year you should switch since kitten food is high in protein.
