So the kitten mentioned here, for whom we were looking for a new home – turns out she was home all along and has been a wonderful companion ever since we first brought her into our house 🙂
We had her neutered about 3 weeks ago, back then she weighed 2.6 kg (I think, but I might remember incorrectly) and she is approximately 6 months old at the moment.
She’s an indoor cat and although we try to keep her active, her kittenhood hyper activeness is slowly weaning and I am worried the current food is perhaps too high energy for her, keeping weight control in mind. She is eating canned food meant for kittens made by Specific Diets (a veterinary exclusive brand) and Applaws dry food. The vet told us after the neutering that we should start giving her dry food by the daily recommendations – so far we’ve just been filling up her bowl and that lasts several days, she doesn’t like dry food that much. She gets 3 meals of canned food, a single can per day (half in the morning, a quarter in noon and a quarter in the evening) but she always seems starving, or maybe she just likes the food very much.
The question we have is when should we switch her to adult (or neutered) cat food? And when should we start feeding her 2 times per day? I feel so sorry for the poor pets who have been fed so fat they can barely move but at the same time I’m worried that maybe our feeding is somehow not appropriate for her development.
Her breath has also suddenly become awful but I understand that might be because she could be teething?
This is her a couple of weeks ago
