So I just discovered that "all life stages" food exists for cats and I'm very intrigued. To give the short version, my household currently consists of 2 adult cats and 1 kitten. The adults get fed dry food in small portions throughout the day via an automatic feeder, something my husband insisted on and refuses to go back to manual feeding and the kitten has gotten used to the sound of the food dispensing, something the adults were already used to, so he rushes to their food and I have to rush to the pantry to get his kitten food out and give it to him before he steals the adult's food.
I've been trying my best to figure out a way to handle this, from microchip feeders (which are expensive) to suggesting we go back to manual feeding until the kitten is a year old (which was shut down right away by my husband), as right now I have to time his feeding with theirs and then he goes into the guest bedroom at night, which I no longer want to do. This is also an issue for the odd time me and my husband are out of town, I don't want him to be locked away in the guest room the whole time we're away.
The problem is that I just ordered this food for our adults to try as they need a bit of weight losing but I assume this is for adults only. The kitten is currently on the same brand but for kittens, and is given 1 tin of wet food at night. I'm unsure of an affordable, yet healthy brand of dry food for "all life stages". Is this type of dry food actually good for kittens and adults? I'm also open to other suggestions for feeding all 3 cats together and making sure the kitten gets his food only, and the adults don't get to his food.
