Cats go through different life stages as they grow and develop. Each of these life stages has a unique nutritional requirement to meet the needs of that particular stage in their development. Since they are still growing and developing, kittens will need a higher amount of protein and calories. They need extra energy to keep them active throughout the day. The nutrient composition of kitten food is not ideal for adults and senior cats as their needs for specific nutrients will vary considerably. Kittens that are not given a life stage-appropriate diet can have increased chances of developing specific nutritional deficiencies that can adversely affect their growth and development. Poor quality nutrition can also affect a cat’s immune system function thus increasing their risks to illnesses.
