Good morning. *I was wondering...I have a kitten that's 6 months old
and a 10 year old cat. *The older cat has been eating the higher
calorie food for the kitten. *Our local vet said it's o.k. to give
both cats the same food..the one that the older cat eats..Iams weight/
hairball control...the cat is small and always seems hungry..am I
making a mistake in not feeding kitten food to her until she's 1 year
old?..or can I just keep giving her larger amounts of the "diet"
food. *I'm suspecting I may be depriving the kitten of the fat and
other nutrients she needs for proper growth. *Any and all help/
suggestions are greatly appreciated..Joe (Danbury, CT)


Thank you to all for your suggestions..it's greatly appreciated...have
a great day!
