How to Feed Meow Mix to Kittens

Meow Mix is one of the most heavily advertised pet food brands, and is sold throughout the United States in both supermarkets and pet stores. There is a Meow Mix formula for each stage of a cat's life, including kittens and nursing mothers. The Meow Mix brand was formerly owned by Purina, but was sold to Del Monte Foods to avoid antitrust litigation. Meow Mix kitten food is only available in 3-pound bags.

    • 1

      Make sure you have the correct Meow Mix product. There is a specific product for kittens called Kitten Li'l Nibbles. Other Meow Mix products are designed for adult cats and may not contain the amount of calories kittens require for healthy growth.

      Feed the kittens from a shallow stainless steel or ceramic bowl. Plastic bowls can give cats and kittens chin acne.

    • 3

      Feed the kittens several small meals per day, or leave the food out and allow them to nibble it when they want. Kittens have small stomachs, so they need to eat more frequently than an adult cat.

      Continue feeding kitten food to kittens until they are 1 year old. Gradually switch them over to an adult cat food by substituting more and more of their kitten food for adult cat food over a week's time. If you change over suddenly, it may cause digestive upset.
