Cat feeding guide

Kittens grow quickly and have small stomachs. They require a protein‑ and energy‑rich diet, divided into 3–4 small meals per day.

Adult cats (1–7 years) do well on two meals per day with a balanced diet that maintains their weight and overall health.

Senior cats (7 years and up) may need fewer calories, benefit from easily digestible ingredients and extra support for joints and digestion. Older cats often prefer smaller, more frequent portions.

  • Kitten: high in energy and protein, 3–4 small meals, kitten food.
  • Adult: balanced diet, two meals per day, adjusted to weight and activity.
  • Senior: fewer calories, easier to digest, added support; smaller or more frequent meals.
  • Special diet: consult your vet for allergies, kidney issues or obesity.

By considering their life stage you provide your cat with the best nutrition for a long and healthy life.
