feeding cats of different ages

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
If my husband is able to bring home miss Peach she is supposedly only 6 weeks old (I know, I know, too young to leave her mama, but she does not have a mama). Raven is 1, Jack is 10 months, they are eating adult food. Is it safe to mix adult with kitten 1/2 and 1/2 and feed it too them all?

Can you not feed them separately? Kitten would have to be in its own room for a while anyway right?

If not, I would rather err on the side of having all eat kitten food than on having the kitten eat kitten and adult maintenance. Are you trying to use up a bag of adult?

If you want them to all eat the same, I would check out an all-life-stages food.

You're getting a new baby!!! Exciting!

At six weeks you likely need to supplement with KMR and use either canned or moistened kitten food ( I second the seprate area

I would feed them seperate until the kitten is older.

We were recently adopted by a 5 month old kitten. She's still in her own room, but after integration she will be fed seperately still. She was very underweight for her age at her first checkup, and the guys can't have her kitten food (wet and dry).

I would feed the kitten all kitten food and KMR separately (3-4 meals a day). When she's older, if healthy and of good size, then she can go on adult food around 5 months old like the rest.

If you mix kitten with the adult foods, your adults could gain too much weight.

thanks everyone, from what I understand she is starving so I think I will feed her seperately a daily meal and she can eat what she wants of Raven and Jacks free food, I think she needs kitten food for her health.
