I'm working on switching my new kitten over from the Purina dry kibble (for adult cats) they had him on at the shelter to a wet food that is either for all life stages or for kittens. I got him a dry kibble from Purina that is the same type he was on, only for kittens, to help him transition without too much digestive upset. I've been trying different types of the Friskies pâté canned foods for him also to switch him to dry. I picked Friskies mostly because I didn't know how resistant he would be to switching to wet food and if I was going to be throwing a lot of it away I wanted it to be cheaper. But he seems like he is loving wet food so I'm wondering if it is okay to leave him on Friskies pâté or if I should switch him over to a different canned food. I'm not sure how good Friskies pâté formulas are.
I also have been leaving some dry kibble out for him to free feed on during the night since I wake up late and whenever I'm going to be away from home for a meal time. Right now since I have the Purina kibble that I'm using to transition him I've just been leaving that out, but once it is gone is there a better dry kibble I can use when I'm not around to feed him wet?
I appreciate any and all advice! I'm completely new to kitten care as this is my first cat ever and I've had him less than a week.
