To start we will discuss the negatives of using homemade kitten food and then go to positives of using homemade kitten food.
Making your own homemade kitten food will take you more time then simply opening a bag or can of kitten food. There is nothing simpler then pouring premade food into your kittens bowl. Making your own food will require you to spend time making it every few days.
On the flip side, the more you make your kittens food the less time it will take you and it has been shown that cats can live a much longer time when feed a diet that closely resembles what they would eat out in the wild.
In the beginning, making your own kitten food can be more costly. A kittens diet consists of raw meat and vegetables.
Over time you will actually save money by feeding your cat homemade kitten food. When your cat gets the nutrition his body needs he has a stronger immune system so he will get sick much less often. That means less money on vet bills. You will still have to get your kitten his shots but you will be taking a sick cat to the vet a whole lot less. Also, when your kitten gets the nutrition he needs he will eat less everyday.
Before you start feeding your kitten homemade food you need to do your homework. Cats have different food allergies then we do and some of our food is actually poison to them.
Cats are lactose intolerant. Milk will not kill your kitten but it will make him feel bad. Tomatoes, onions, and garlic are poison to cats. They should not eat anything that is in the same food groups as those.
Just like everything you do, when you know the rules and follow them, you won’t have to think about them. It will become second nature.
Giving your kitten healthy cat food will help your kitten to live a longer, healthy lifetime. Feed your kitten homemade kitten food.
