Kittens Have Their Own Nutritional Needs
While some nutrients in kitten food are the same as adult cat food, there are a few differences that will help your new kitten's brain and muscle development.
Expect your kitten’s food to have higher levels of protein and minerals, as well as higher calories, since kittens are typically more active than their older counterparts.
