If you are a cat person and you want to share your home with a happy kitten then you know that you are in for a treat with the laughter and companionship that a kitten will bring to your life.

When your bring home your new kitten he will probably make himself right at home, taking over the centre of your settee and your bed at night, making it difficult for you to get up in the morning. In return for this pleasure and companionship, a kitten will bring with him certain responsibilities to ensure he has a healthy life.

Love and good food is the way to your feline friend’s heart. Making the best choices for a kitten’s basic needs is the best way to keep him healthy and happy.

Taking time to look around at cat food and the quality of the ingredients is a necessary action to ensure your pet has the correct cat nutrition for a long and healthy life. A kitten needs quality pet food to ensure he has strong bones and tissues, while still keeping his eyes, teeth and body in good order.

Choosing to skimp on a kitten’s food is false economy. Offering him the best cat nutrition with high quality food will pay out huge dividends when you are saving time and money by not having to continually take your pet to the vets.

The amount of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals should be balanced and appropriate for the status of your kitten’s health, physical condition and energy levels.

When reading the labels on pet food to ensure good cat nutrition look for the words ‘complete’ and ‘balanced’, and of course the word ‘kitten’. Pet foods for kittens have added vitamins and minerals which are needed while he grows into an adult cat.
