There are many types of cat food on the market now. Popular shovelers who have cats at home must know the cat food classification. So novices, do you know the disadvantages of eating kitten food for adult cats? Is there any harm? With this question, I will tell you.
Occasional eating of kitten food generally will not have a significant impact on the cat, but if adult cats are allowed to eat kitten food for a long time, it will bring many disadvantages.
1. The proportion of nutrients required by kittens and adult cats is different. Kitten food contains relatively rich nutrients and a high fat content. If adult cats eat for a long time, they will gain weight, which will continue to cause some diseases, such as pancreatitis, diabetes, etc.
2. Eating cats with cat food from kittens can also cause gastrointestinal intolerance and some gastrointestinal reactions such as soft stools, diarrhea, etc.
3. Adult cats are also prone to oxalate urinary stones when eating kittens food. Feeding acidified food will increase the risk of urinary stones in adult cats.
4. Because the taste of kitten food is soft, if adult cats eat kitten food for a long time and brush their teeth from time to time, food residues will stick to the teeth, and tartars will form over time.
