When should I switch my kitten to adult cat food, and how do I do it?

Most cats are considered adults between 10-12 months old. It's best to transition gradually over 7-10 days. Start by mixing a small amount of the new adult cat food with their current kitten food, slowly increasing the proportion of adult food and decreasing the kitten food each day. This helps prevent digestive upset.

What are the key nutritional differences between kitten food and adult cat food?

Adult cat food is formulated to meet the different nutritional needs of mature cats. It typically contains fewer calories and less fat than kitten food, which is designed for growth. Adult formulas often have balanced levels of protein, vitamins, and minerals to support energy, muscle maintenance, and overall health without promoting excessive weight gain.
