Your kitten’s nutritional requirements will evolve as she matures. Ensuring that these needs are met at each stage of development helps ensure your kitten’s optimal health and development.
Kittens should be fed a high-quality, nutrient-rich dry diet tailored specifically for their needs. Check the nutrition adequacy statement on the back of the food package to guarantee your cat is getting all they require for healthy growth and development.

Meat
At the critical early seven month mark of your kitten’s life, it is essential that they receive proper nutrition. Cat milk should mainly be fed at this stage but some meat baby food such as chicken flavor or turkey flavor will also suffice.
Once your kitten is old enough to begin eating a regular diet, you can switch them over to dry cat food that has been specifically designed for cats. For best results, feed them at the same time each day so that mealtimes become part of their regular schedule.
When selecting a cat food, it’s essential to read the label. Most high-quality brands will include an amount recommended per day as a starting point; however, keep in mind that every animal has unique nutritional needs and these packet guidelines shouldn’t be treated as ‘one size fits all’.
Vegetables
Cats have their own specific nutritional requirements. In particular, they require a certain amount of protein to build muscle and protect their organs. Furthermore, cats require various other nutrients like carbohydrates or vitamins/minerals in order to stay healthy.
Aside from meat, offering your feline some fruit and vegetables can help keep them happy and healthy. It may seem counterintuitive, but some kittens become sick due to too much sugar consumption – so it’s wise to introduce a balanced diet at an early age.
Your local supermarket or butcher offers a wide variety of delicious food items for your furry friend to choose from. However, try to steer clear of fatty, greasy or salty items as these may lead to health problems in the future. A small plateful of greens such as broccoli florets or finely diced carrots with parsley will be enough to satisfy even your pickiest furry family member.
Fish
One of the best ways to ensure a 7 month old cat’s satisfaction is feeding it foods tailored specifically towards its needs. Selecting appropriate food and providing it at the appropriate time will provide it with essential nutrition without causing any harm.
As a general guideline, provide your child with small portions of their favorite foods several times throughout the day. This will help them regulate their appetites and ensure they get all of the calories needed without overindulging in more calorically dense items.
Your 7 month old kitten will love a small portion of raw fish formulated for maximum flavor and health. Try offering your pup some trout, salmon, tuna or catfish in small pieces; they make for an exciting treat and healthy mealtime meal.
Treats
When your 7 month old cat is hungry, it is essential to provide them with a high quality diet that provides all the essential nutrients. Furthermore, ensure they always have access to clean and fresh water.
If you’re uncertain of the best food for your cat, consult your veterinarian. They can give helpful suggestions based on age, activity level and dietary preferences.
When your cat is hungry, offer them a treat. Treats are an excellent way to show them you care and keep them contented. However, remember that treats should only make up 10% of their daily calorie intake.
