What kind of cat food is better for a 4-month-old kitten?

In fact, what brand of cat food you feed is not the most important, but whether the cat at home likes to eat it is more important. However, if you want to grow fast, strong, and have beautiful coat color, and if your financial conditions allow it, I suggest you go directly to Canada to import "Desire Cat Food", and by the way, I would like to share my personal experience with the subject.

I have two blue and white British Shorthair brothers - Sadness and Joy. I got them just over two months ago and flew them from Shenyang to Shanghai in air boxes. This is my first time raising a cat, so I put a lot of effort into the two little guys.

At the beginning, because of my lack of experience and tight time, I bought Birich kitten food at the pet store, and the two adapted quickly. After a week of eating, Jo suddenly had diarrhea, which was very watery. I was so scared that I rushed it to the hospital. After spending 500 on a bunch of tests, it was confirmed that it was just ordinary diarrhea. I was prescribed some probiotics and gastrointestinal conditioning medicine and took three days to heal. (As a digression here, in fact, you don’t need to be too nervous when a kitten has diarrhea. You can feed it some mommy’s love, which is what babies eat to regulate their intestines and stomach. This is actually very helpful! Of course, I learned this later.)

After that, I decided to change cat food. I bought Crave Whole Meat on the recommendation of a friend, and gradually switched the two cats to Crave through a one-week transitional feeding method, which has continued to this day.

Benefits

There are indeed some visible changes after changing the food -

①Physique becomes better

Although there are many external The reason is that my cat’s physical condition is indeed getting better and better after eating Craving. He rarely gets sick and has never been to the hospital except for sterilization before he was one year old.

Growing fast, the body has always been strong.

This was when she was neutered at nine months, and the doctor thought she was one year old. However, it is also true that the British shorthair itself is more likely to grow into a cat with a big face and a large body than other breeds...

②The hair quality is good

After feeding for a period of time, I found that the two Their coat color and gloss are pretty good. Because I like photography, I often take hard photos of them and upload them directly without much need for post-production.

Sadness And Joy’s cat is also soft to the touch, and it’s very pleasant to stroke, haha!

Disadvantages

①Easy to gain weight

However, due to the desire for high whole meat content (up to 85%), if your cat is a foodie, it will not matter. If you shut up and can't stop eating, you will easily become fat. (Such as JOY) Of course, if you want to make your furry baby fatter, I would still recommend feeding him. After all, it feels better to have a fleshy body.

If you eat and crave for a long time, your body shape may become like this:

(Below the chest...it is all meat...= =)

(Jump When you stand up, you can clearly see that the tonnage of the lower half is not small...)

(The other Sadness is not much better. A typical eldest son of a landlord who is lazy and eats)

So, in order to prevent them from becoming too obese, I have now reduced the proportion of feeding cravings, and I also try to play with them as much as possible to increase the amount of exercise.

If your cat needs to lose weight in the future, you can also contact me and I will share more experiences with you!

Finally, but also very important, when buying imported cat food, you must buy it through regular channels. I once bought fakes from a well-known store of Dove, a Bao store, and I couldn’t help but taste it. That’s not right
