Young kittens are growing at an incredibly fast rate from the ages of eight weeks to approximately six months. Kittens will require a large amount of kitten food to start, which means that they will need to eat a number of times during the day. Kittens that are under six months of age do not have very large stomachs but require a lot of fuel. For this reason it is best to feed your kittens four small meals per day, and provide them with an unlimited supply of water all day long.The growth rate of your kitten will dramatically start to slow down at around six months of age. At this time you may find your kitten becoming a bit less active. The amount of feedings necessary can also be cut back to around two to three meals per day. At this stage of kitten growth it is also important not to change their food from kitten food to adult cat food. Your cat is still in a growing stage. Your cat will be able to eat adult cat food when they reach a year old.
