Should a nursing cat only eat kitten food?
amy f, Kitten food is an excellent source of protein for a nursing cat. For the first few weeks of nursing feed your cat the highest quality moist adult cat food available. At about four- weeks, start supplimenting her diet with the highest quality moist kitten food available. Kitten food is higher in protein content than adult cat food. I would feed a brand such as Wellness or Evo to your cat. You can find them at good quality pet stores, or you can purchase them at Petfooddirect.com. You can visit their web sites as well to locate dealers in your area. Moist cat food is preferable, not only because cats need a higher quality protein, and do not require grain in their diets ( cats do not need a high amount of carbohydrates, and grain can cause digestive problems) but also moist food contains water which is essential to them, especially when nursing. Keep fresh water available to your nursing mom all the time. Read more about feeding a nursing cat by visiting:
