•    First: Kittens need High Protein,  They can not store Protein like other animals can. The first year is important.  so they need to be on a kitten food.  After the first year, then each cat needs to be placed on the food that is right for it's personal health issues.

•     Second: we note the Fat, to make sure they didn't try and push the protein numbers up by using a lot of fat.

•     Third: we look at the fiber.  We all know what fiber does for us.  The more fiber, the more output.  It can also make the stools thinner. Also this is a carbohydrate.  Kittens have particularly delicate digestive systems and don't ye produce, insufficient quantities, the enzyme needed to digest carbohydrates.

You should never assume that your kitten/cat food will not change.  Read and check on it ever so often.  You might have to adjust to something else as times do change.

Canned Cat/Kitten Foods

I am not a big fan of canned cat foods.  It is very hard to find quality food in a can.  There is always byproducts in them and they have a low protein content.   I am still looking and reading labels every chance I get.
