I'm Looking For Food For My Kitten

Ensuring that cats and kittens receive adequate vitamins and minerals in their food is crucial for maintaining their overall health and well-being. Just like humans, these essential nutrients play a vital role in the growth, development, and proper functioning of a feline's body. Especially it's important for big size animals like Maine Coons.

I have had many problems with feeding my animals at the beginning. That is why I'm so sensitive to this topic.

Here's what happened with our dog. Imir - that was his name - was still small, perhaps just six months old. And that summer there were lots of ticks. 

Once Imir had almost died from a tick bite. We had to take him to the vet, for three days he was between life and death. We discovered that he, among other things, lacked vitamin K. We also discovered that the feed we bought for him was not rich in vitamins. 

So, with the cats, I was just an expert on animal foods and looked for good kibble. I also buy vitamin pastes for boys for at least up to 6 months to support bone growth. And I give them a good meet, too.

Vitamins are organic compounds that are necessary for various bodily functions such as cell growth, metabolism, and immune system support. Cats require specific vitamins like A, D, E, and K, as well as those from the B-complex group, to maintain healthy skin, coat, vision, and overall vitality. On the other hand, minerals are inorganic elements that are essential for bone development, muscle function, nerve transmission, and enzyme activation. 

Key minerals for cats include calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and zinc. We have to pay particular attention to the presence of taurine in the cat food.

A balanced diet that is rich in essential vitamins and minerals is vital for preventing nutrient deficiencies and ensuring optimal health for the growing Maine Coon kitten. 

In short, I spent this week studying kitten food and prices. I must say, I found that the prices have increased compared to two months ago when I bought the bag last time. I paid 10 euros more than the previous time (for 10 kg). Well... he is growing and he must eat the correct food in this period.
