Knowing your cat is in their older years allows you to take a proactive approach to caring for them during this important stage of life.

Kittens do the majority of their growth in the first five to six months of life but continue to grow until they are around one year old. During this time of rapid growth and maturation of their bones, it is very important to choose a complete and balanced diet with the appropriate levels of nutrients. Diets formulated for growth include those labeled for kittens or “all life stages.” Canned foods promote increased water consumption in cats, and feeding dry food exclusively or in combination with canned is also acceptable. Offering a kitten with a variety of textures early in life can be helpful in minimizing the chance of having a picky eater. Regardless of diet selection, always make diet changes gradually by mixing the old and new foods together over five to seven days and make sure to carefully measure the appropriate portions of your cat’s food. Abrupt changes have a greater likelihood of resulting in vomiting and/or diarrhea.

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! I would find an "All Stages" food that all the cats can eat. There are many companies that make this kind of food that can be fed to adults and kittens. If you google all stages cat food some will come up. Below is a link for an example, not saying to choose this particular one.

This particular diet is formulated to meet the demands of all life stages, so technically this should be fine for kittens and will be OK to feed them this. However, there can be some problems associated with feeding adult cats this food, because it may contain more calories and make them more prone to obesity. I've included a link below to an article that further explains details about choosing food for your cat. http://www.vet.cornell.edu/fhc/Health_Information/brochure_feedingcat.cfm

Kittens need food formulated for kittens and they should eat it until they are about 10 months of age. After that you can switch the adult formula. I like Purina Proplan food like this one: ( https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/purina-pro-plan-focus-chicken-and-rice-formula-dry-kitten-food )

Crave is formulated to meet AAFCO nutritional standards, which is great, but I don't see that this food is a kitten food. It looks like an adult cat food to me (but I could be wrong as I can't see the front of the bag!). Reign needs a kitten formulated food to meet the specific nutritional needs to support her growth,and that not only includes more protein, but also more calcium and higher calories. This is why kittens should only be given a kitten food until they are a year old. I would switch her to a kitten food, and when she is a year old, it will be fine to feed her this food. Best of luck.
