Feeding questions

For the kitten, you really should be feeding a kitten food til 1 year.
Kitten foods contain more fat and protein than other foods, which they
need for growth. An all-life-stage food many times won't have as high
percentage of these nutrients as a actual kitten food, so I would stick
with that.


Karen, you're wrong. Haven't you been reading the all life stage food posts?
Any food whose AAFCO label states that it is for "all life stages" IS a kitten
food. "All life stage" foods have to contain nutrient levels appropriate for
kittens, not adult or senior animals.

G, please keep your insane need to argue away from this posting. This
person wants help. I think this person is smart enough to take what is
written and go look into appropriate foods for her cats.

Dear Chris.

You are wrong.

Very, very wrong. And it's getting on my nerves. No emoticons here.

In fact, post proof or retract your statement that ""All life stage"
foods have to contain nutrient levels appropriate for kittens, not adult
or senior animals."

But if you are providing WRONG information, I would hope that the OP would want
to know that. Keep your wrong information to yourself and no one will have to
correct you.

What's getting on my nerves is that this is SO easy to understand. ANY food
that is labelled "all life stages" (according to the AAFCO statement) has
passed the minimum requirements to sustain the most demanding stage of
life--the growth (kitten) stage. An "all life stage" food may contain levels
of nutrients that are more appropriate for a kitten and not appropriate
(excesses of nutrients) for an adult or senior cat (which may require lower
levels of certain nutrients, not higher). That's just the way it is. It
shouldn't be hard to understand. Kittens REQUIRE (for proper nutrition) higher
levels of fat, protein, phosphorus, calcium, etc. Adult and senior cats do not
require the same levels of those nutrients as they did when they were kittens.
Don't trick people into thinking that feeding an "all life stage" food to an
older cat is okay. It may NOT be. That's all I'm saying. For anyone to come
on here (especially after reading all of the info that has been posted about
all life stage foods) and then ADVOCATE feeding this type of product is not
being responsible. Will feeding an "all life stage" food guarantee problems?
Of course not. Are you avoiding risk factors by feeding this type of food?
No.

Yes, please don't listen to Gaubster. He has an incessant need to argue and
yet has absolutely nothing to back up what he says.

Wrong. Now go get the proof that Alison asked for or shut up.
