I will be getting a 16 week old kitten in a few weeks. Right now, the foster home is feeding Kitten Chow and 9 Lives canned.
I know there is a LOT of different ideas on what to feed kitties here. But... here are my main questions:
-- it seems that most dry food comes in a "kitten" version but many canned does not. Is it ok to use "kitten" dry food and regular canned food?
-- I was label reading the dry foods at the grocery store (most started with corn something) Purina Kitten Chow started with meat -- does this make it a good dry food?
-- what is wrong with 9 Lives or Fancy Feast canned food? The FF especially looked ok to me as far as the ingredients went.
PS: Our cat growing up lived to be 19 with no medical issues -- all he ate was 9 Lives canned and occasionally FF (mom thought it was too expensive). he also ate dry for snack.
