Kitten wet food for adult active cat

[Suljas]

I have a carton of wet kitten food.
Can I feed them to my adult cat?
Understand that kitten food be high in calories for an adult cat but mine is a very active cat. She is on raw diet and this kitten food be like once day or two kinda.
Will be all right?

Yes, as long as your cat is active enough to wear off the extra calories. It is also higher in nutrition, so a small can a day wouldn't hurt.

My understanding is that per the AAFCO there's only two nutrient profiles for complete food:

Growth & Reproduction, which includes Kitten and All Life Stages foods, and

Maintenance, which is Adult only food.

So technically there should be no difference between feeding a kitten food and feeding an All Life Stages food as they both need to have the same minimum nutrient levels.
