I have 2 cats that are both just a year old. Male and fixed. Indoor cats.
I have switched to Natural Choice Kitten food within the last month. (dry)
I have noticed that thier coats have become softer and more silky and shiny, so i`m sure this food is good for them....but both of them are starting to look pudgy at the bottom of their bellies....like a fatty roll starting.
I`m planning on buying CAT food the next time instead of KITTEN food....but I bought a 20 pound bag of the KITTEN stuff at almost $40 last month and want to use it up before buying more. I`d heard not to take them off kitten for for the first year...that they are still kittens even if they are as big as cats.
They get between 1 - 1&1/2 cups of this dry food between them everyday.
Is this too much, enough, or should I buy some CAT food and mix with the KITTEN food so that it is not so rich???Any ideas? I don`t want them to get too fat!
They are both quite energetic all AM and again for an hour or 2 in the evenings...so they DO get their exercise!
Thanks! Linda
