🐱 1. Kittens (0-6 Months)
Kittens have high energy needs and fast metabolisms. They should be fed:
4 times a day until 12 weeks old
3 times a day from 3 to 6 months
Use a high-quality kitten food that supports growth and development.
🐱 2. Adult Cats (6 Months – 7 Years)
Most adult cats do well on:
Two meals per day (morning and evening)
Or free-feeding with portion control if they are not prone to overeating
Avoid overfeeding, as obesity is a common issue among house cats.
🐱 3. Senior Cats (7+ Years)
Older cats may have different dietary needs due to reduced activity or health issues.
Two small meals per day, possibly with senior-specific food
Consider more frequent, smaller portions if advised by your vet
🍽️ Wet Food vs. Dry Food Feeding
Wet food is usually fed in meals due to spoilage
Dry food can be left out longer but must be portion-controlled
📅 Set a Routine
Cats thrive on routine. Feed at the same times every day, and avoid too many treats between meals. Always ensure fresh water is available.
🐾 Final Tip:
Monitor your cat’s weight, energy, and appetite. If you notice sudden changes, consult your vet — they can help customize a feeding schedule tailored to your cat’s needs.
