The kitten stage is a crucial part of a cat's development. Kittens should be fed special kitten food. These products are specifically designed to provide your kitten with the right levels of nutrients to ensure good levels of growth and development. Kittens need specific levels of phosphorus and calcium to ensure the proper growth of teeth and bones.
An adult cat is considered as between the ages of 1 and 6 years. During this stage, cats need specially controlled levels of nutrients such as sodium, magnesium and phosphorus in order to maintain health and vitality. Another important ingredient that cats find beneficial is taurine. This ingredient is considered very important for a cat's eye health, and heart function.
A very important thing to remember is to control the amount of cat food available. Obesity is one of the leading causes of poor health in cats. It is important to remember to follow the manufacturer's guidelines accurately and to not oversupply treats. Obesity can also lead to increased risk of urinary tract disease due to the increased levels of magnesium.
When cats reach the age of seven they are usually considered a 'senior cat'. This is a very important stage in their life and one where you need to carefully monitor their health. Senior cats have more kidney problems and urinary tract problems. They require special senior cat food which contains the right levels of nutrients to maintain vitality.
