Food for Your Cat

Food

The age of your cat can make a big difference in your cat’s food. A kitten up to 6 month of age should be fed 3 times a day. Kittens six month and older should be fed 2 times a day. If you have a small kitten, it is best if you feed it dry food first, and when it is older, you can give it some wet food to try. Cats also like to nibble on herbs like catnip, which you can find at a pet store, and it actually helps your cat to relax.

Drinks

Cats should have fresh water every day. Milk can upset a cat’s stomach, but there are a special kind of “cat” milk that cats can drink. Cats can also drink yogurt, which have milk in it, but there is live bacteria that are good for your cat and can help digest the things that are in the milk that makes your cat’s stomach upset.
