My cat have three adorable kittens…everything was fine, until about four days ago, when I noticed they make more noise than usual. I called the vet, to be sure and he says everything is fine…more than fine. Kittens need more food than mother can provide in this moment, as they are very big ![]()
Anyway, I was relieved to hear that…vet recommended me some food for kittens of that age, but here is a problem: that’s all industrially made food. I give my cats only natural, home cooked or prepared food, so they can be healthy and strong (as I noticed canned or dry food many times made them feel bad). So I’m wondering, is there some food for kittens of that age, that could be home prepared? Vet just nodded when I asked, but said nothing more…guess he’s more for a industrially version.
Any cat owners/experts on this subject, that could help? Thanks in advance ![]()
Haha, don’t presume, please ![]()
When I said cooking, I meant cleaning from dangerous parts (like tiny bones and stuff), chopping and similar. My cats eat poultry, fish and meat. I add cooked rice to the diet, time to time, by the vet’s suggestion and add some raw carrots and pumpkin seeds, for their better digestion and to prevent worms…as most of my cats lived to an old age (like fifteen) and the ones who live now are healthy and happy, no, I don’t think this diet is killing them

Oh, yeah…I don’t give anything to kittens yet…hope to hear few more opinions before I do



If what you’re feeding now to the mom is complete and balanced with all the proper nutrients then it will also be fine for the kittens. I’d just chop it into smaller pieces. They should be perfectly able to chew it already. Taurine is critical, I hope you’re adding it to the food you already make. Kittens have tiny stomaches so be prepared to offer several small meals throughout the day. Nature doesn’t make any special mice for kittens to eat, all they need is more food, not different food.
Make sure you offer them a shallow dish of water too if you haven’t already.
I do feed store bought cat food, but just grain free varieties. They are for all life stages, so from my 10 month old to my 11 year old, everyone does well on the same food.
Taurine.
i suggest you google it, as you are killing your kittens.
cat food, mostly meat. no grains. or raw food.
i like "instinct" brand.
i dont know what you are home cooking and preparing, but unless it is fresh mouse with blood gravy and a side of mashed bird, you are killing your cats.
you should know that food that human eats is not always ok for cats…
they are small yet… what s up with chicken if you make small pieces. just in boiled water with no spices or salt
