Whether you’re looking for everyday nutritional food, digestive-friendly formulas, or skin-care support, you can find suitable kitten, adult cat, or senior cat food here to provide a complete and balanced diet for your cat.
1. How do I choose the right cat food? What nutritional ingredients should I look for?
When choosing food, first look at the ingredient list. The ingredients appearing in the largest proportion should ideally be clearly labelled meat sources such as chicken, salmon, or duck. Check whether the protein and fat levels are adequate, and ensure the carbohydrate proportion is not too high.
Also pay attention to key nutrients such as minerals (e.g. calcium and phosphorus), taurine, and Omega-3 & Omega-6 fatty acids. Avoid cat food containing excessive grain fillers or unclear “meat by-products.”
2. How can I tell if the cat food contains enough animal protein?
The ingredient list is arranged in descending order by weight. If the first 3–5 ingredients are mainly clearly identified meat sources such as chicken or fish, it indicates a higher proportion of animal protein.
You can also refer to the crude protein percentage on the nutrition label. For adult cats, crude protein is recommended to be at least 26–30%. For kittens and senior cats, crude protein is recommended to be above 30%, with animal protein as the main source rather than plant-based sources like soy protein or corn protein.
3. Can kittens, adult cats, and senior cats eat the same cat food? When should I switch food?
Kittens, adult cats, and senior cats have different calorie and nutrient needs. It is recommended to select formulas labelled for the corresponding life stage (kitten, adult, senior), rather than feeding the same food long-term.
In general, kittens can begin transitioning from kitten food to adult food at around 10–12 months, when their body size is close to adult. A 7-day gradual transition is recommended. For senior cats, switching to high-protein and easily digestible formulas should be done under veterinary advice, depending on their health condition.
4. If my cat often vomits or has diarrhoea after eating, should I change food or see a vet?
If it is only occasional mild vomiting or soft stool and your cat’s appetite and energy are normal, consider whether you recently changed food suddenly or if your cat ate too quickly. You may try feeding smaller meals more frequently or switching to a gentler or easily digestible formula to observe the condition.
However, if vomiting or diarrhoea lasts more than 24 hours, contains blood, or is accompanied by fever, refusal to eat or drink, or noticeable lethargy, you should seek veterinary care immediately to rule out intestinal blockage, infection, or other medical conditions.
