So I just got a new kitten, Tsekani. He is 5 months old. He was getting Felidae back at his home, but I haven't found that brand here where I live. I have started him on Nutro Natural Choice kitten formula canned food, and Royal Canin Kitten 34 kibbles. He seems to really like both foods, and has had no stomach upset that I have seen so far. I am actually surprised at how much he will eat, actually. He's very slight.
I have been putting out both types of food at once, and he doesn't eat it all at once, but within an hour all of the food is gone. I put down about 1/2 small can of wet, and a 1/4 cup dry.
So far I have been feeding him in a different room from my adult cat, but eventually I will have to feed them together. My adult cat gets Royal Canin hairball formula dry, and Natural Choice adult canned food. He doesn't like canned food however, so eats more of the dry than the canned. I have tried a variety of different canned foods, and the Natural Choice is the one he likes best. I was one of those people who thought that cats did best on dry food, before I found this site, and Sohni has been given good quality dry for a year. He is healthy and his coat is shiny, so I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. He is getting better about eating his wet food, however, and I am not throwing out as much wet leftovers after each meal.
