Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! 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. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/wholehearted-grain-free-chicken-formula-dry-cat-food-5-lbs-2668813?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=1o5&scid=scplp2668813&sc_intid=2668813&cm_mmc=PLA-GG-_-PTC_P_SUP_PLA-GG_FY17_SCShopping-Wholehearted-Non-Branded-_-Non+VIP-Wholehearted-_-58700004176071259&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&adpos=%7badpos%7d&scid=scplp2668813&sc_intid=2668813&kwid=p35223349871&device=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI04iP__Sw3QIVA56fCh19PQa7EAQYBSABEgI90fD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Good luck!
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 and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! Sheba brand is a slightly better formula than the Friskies and 9 lives. It may also be that the Sheba brand food is more palatable to her than the others. Like people, cats can have variable tastes so it may be that she just prefers this brand over the others.
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 )
The best food with the most research are typically science diet, Purina or royal canin. You can find any formula that is made for young, adult cats to share. They make an optimal care or indoor adult made for young adults
