Cat Nutrition Characteristics
Cats are carnivorous animals and need protein-based nutrition. Their nutritional needs vary according to age, weight, and health condition.
Kittens (0-12 months)
Kittens should be fed with special foods containing high protein and calories. They should be given small portions 3-4 times a day.
Adult Cats (1-7 years)
Choose quality food containing balanced protein, fat, and carbohydrates for adult cats. 2-3 meals per day are sufficient.
Senior Cats (7+ years)
Prefer specially formulated, easily digestible foods for senior cats. Foods containing glucosamine and chondroitin are beneficial for joint health.
Water Consumption
Cats naturally drink little water. Fresh water should always be accessible and water bowls should be placed in various locations.
