Bonocibo Kitten can be fed from weaning through to maturity, which occurs at around 8 to 10 months of age. During the last 2 months of this period the adult food can gradually be introduced. It is also ideal for pregnant and lactating female cats due to its high energy and vitamin content.

For pregnant cats Bonocibo Kitten should be fed during the last third of the pregnancy, which is the last 20 days. After birth it can then be offered freely up until weaning to provide sufficient energy and minerals for milk production.

Taurine is a nutrient that is similar to an amino acid but also acts in the body like a vitamin. It is required in the body for a number of functions, including retinal development for sight and heart muscle development.

It is found naturally in meat materials however, the level can be quite low and variable. Unlike dogs, cats cannot produce this nutrient in their body, so instead it has to be consumed via the diet. Taurine is added to all Cagatay cat foods to ensure that their nutritional requirements are met.

Kitten foods can be introduced at weaning by softening a few kibbles with warm water not with the milk and leave them close to their bed. If they do not accept the food readily you can also put a small spot of soften food on their front paws, which they will tend to lick and hence become familiar to the smell and taste. Once they have accepted the moistened food an additional bowl of dry food can be placed nearby and the quantity of moistened food reduced, which will encourage them to move across to the dry. Once they have all accepted the dry food the moistened food can be removed, but always allow them nearby access to clean, fresh water at all times.

The nutrient content of the kitten food is higher than the adult food, so it will meet all of an adult cat’s requirements however, the extra energy can cause an adult cat to put on excessive weight if it is constantly fed this food. So long as the owner keeps a good check on the cat’s body condition it will certainly not cause any problems. The only other issue is the kibble size, which can sometimes be too small for an adult cat to eat comfortably.

If your cat is struggling to put on weight it could be advisable to move it to the kitten food, which contains a high amount of energy. It could also be a good idea to feed it more often and in a quiet place if it is easily distracted and does not tend to consume the quantity indicated on the pack. Adding a little complete wet food can also help to boost the energy content and acceptance if your cat is particularly low in weight.

After an operation cats are often disinterested in their food. It is therefore a good idea to offer them a food with a very high palatability and nutrient concentration, such as Boncibo Kitten, so that they can obtain as much as possible from a small quantity. It is also a good idea to moisten the food with warm water, as this will make it easier to consume and will enhance the flavour further.
