Most kittens are very resilient when they are young; however as they grow into an adult cat their reflexes tend to slow down. They are still agile but where most animals would not thrive they are known to have a far better survival rate.
An adult cat that has grown from a kitten with the aid of a good pet diet will have strong bones and muscles, each one flexing every time they jump from pillar to post or stretching out in the garden at full length. Cat nutrition is an essential part of a cat’s life from the time they are a kitten to their senior time of life. Cats have a natural resistance to disease; however it can be lowered if not being fed quality food.
Humans who tend to eat poor food suffer from heart disease, liver and kidney disease; it is the same for a cat. Nutrition has to be a balance of the right food, not too much fats and salt. An indoor cat would need less food on their pet diet than a cat who loves to be out all day, coming home in the evening to rest.
Some cats vary their routine, being in all day, prowling around at night, leaving his meals for him to eat when hungry will not help in establishing how much food he is consuming. If you tend to keep a cat indoors the portion size of the cat food should be less than a cat that stays outdoors.
In the winter a cat will change his habits accordingly, happy staying curled up in front of the fire, while in the summer he will love to stretch out and bask in the sunshine. At Hills Pets we have online a wide range of quality kitten and adult cat food.
