Hi, I have a new kitten, about 4/5 weeks old. She came to me about 5 days ago just lapping up mother's milk substitute. But I've started feeding her a gruel of the milk + Wellness kitten. Last night I bought some Instinct "mixer" supplement stuff, and some Performatrin (Pet Valu) food. She loved them both, and the Performatrin is less expensive.
I learned a lot here about feeding, before my 2 babies passes (FIP for one, kidney for the other, both cats 2.5 yrs old). I want to know if I really need to feed my new girlie "kitten" labeled food. Especially if I want to intro her to some freeze dried raw a-la Primal, Stella & Chewey's etc. Seems ridiculous that the kitten labeled foods are all the same flavor, and I have to feed that for a year. Then what happens when I want her to be interested in a variety of flavors?
Thoughts? My goal is really to feed a 50/50 raw (but commercial, freeze dried), wet diet to her and we will also get a companion for her soon.
Thanks in advance!
