Hello :)

Hi welcome to the forum.

May I just ask was it from that vet that you bought the food? Sometimes they will encourage you to buy their food because they get commission on it.
What a lot of people do is have dry food available full time and only give wet food at specific meal times.
Wet food tends to contain less grain that dry food, which is good as grain is largely indigestible by cats and only serves as a 'filler' (cats are obligate carnivores). Some avoid wet food because dry is more convenient but wet food is helpful is your cat doesn't drink a lot.

When I got 2 of my cats as kittens they got the Whiskas kitten food, both wet & dry, and later on we gave them the Royal Canin Kitten food.
Good luck with your new kitten.

Hi judypops, Yes it was the vet and she went and got the food off of the shelf and showed me it and told me loads of benefits of using it.

I will look into a better wet food i was using this one as he was on it when i bought him and didnt want to upset his little tummy to much.


Thank you both for your reply  xx   

Hi Zina, welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy it here. We'll look forward to hearing more about all your pets. Congratulations on taking on a kitten, hope Boo integrates well into your household, I bet your children already love her (kittens seem to have that effect on people )

I'm Toni with 4 rescue cats aged 4-14. Unfortunately I've no experience of kittens & what should be fed when, but I know others on the forum are so hopefully you'll get plenty of advice.

All I can say we feed our cats both wet & dry in varying proportions, one gets mainly dried with a little moist to put her meds in, one gets all moist (he considers dry food, including cat treats, the spawn of the devil!), the other 2 have dried with one or 1/2 a pouch with each meal depending on the size of the cat!! As regards dry, we use Hills for the cat on the diet, James WellBelloved for the other 2 (as one has a sensitive stomach & Royal Canin doesn't seem to agree with her) but with a Royal Canin in the mix for the other at night as he likes it & Lexie is in her own room overnight. Ours weren't over keen on the Applaws but I would agree with sarahhound that the product has good ingredients. As to moist we use Felix & Applaws (which isn't a complete food in its wet form), Gourmet Gold & Sheba, depending on the needs & likes of the individual cats, which can vary for day to day!!! Probably not much help to you now though - sorry.

However, the main thing is the better the food you put into the kitten the healthier & fitter cat it is likely to grow into.

Thank you tonib and tingler for your reply's.


I have been looking online for some better wet food as at the moment im going to use the royal canin dry as the bag is open and he is eating it. I have found HiLife tempt me Kitten pouches which has 50% chicken in... this seems better to me as whiskers only has 4% meat. So would this be a better choice for me to feed him?

I must say kitten/cat labelling is quite confusing... i have been looking online at loads of sites and some i cant even find out how much meat % they have in but this HiLife is from pets at home so can get some of this quite easily  


Thank you all for your help... I will try and post a picture of my lil man soon ... I did try and put a picture of him as my profile picture but it keeps saying my pictures are to high on MB... so im not sure how to do it ... I will try and work it out xx
