Thread: When to switch from kitten to adult food

The whole idea of kitten food is a bit of a gimmick. Kittens will thrive on any good quality cat food. The discussion should really be about what is a good quality cat food, and see if your kitten will eat that. If you start them young enough, they will probably accept whatever you give them.

My advice would be to stop feeding dry food altogether, and offer a few different brands of wet food, preferably grain-free. Introduce some raw food.

Still, it is interesting to ponder when an MC stops being a kitten, given that they are a slow-maturing breed. Lots of them, especially the males, are great big clowns and behave like kittens their entire lives. My youngest MC Herbie is a year old and 6.2kgs, but he still has all his kitten gestures and behaviours. He is much more kittenish than his 2 big brothers. In fact, he's the biggest kitten I've ever seen!
