our
Ragdoll kitten has been fed a balanced diet of Premium Kitten foods. RaggleRock uses
Royal Canin Baby Cat & Royal Canin Kitten (available at most pet stores)
dry foods when weaning. Do
not change your kittens' diet for at least the first year, as changing
foods may upset his/her
tummy. However, should you
wish to switch to another brand of premium kitten food, *remember to
introduce new foods slowly into the existing diet over a period of no
less than one month. We also use many holistic approaches involving
food and vitamins.
variety of foods are suitable for your Ragdoll. These can include
premium canned foods or dry foods. Using a variety of foods will
prevent a finicky eater. Fresh cooked meats (like chicken or fish) are
ok, as is a little raw meat [no spices]. As a treat you may even try a chopped,
boiled egg or some pieces of cheese (preferably grated). *Onion and
garlic are toxic to kittens & cats ! A teaspoon or two of
cottage cheese can't hurt either.
e
recommend that you always leave a bowl of DRY FOOD around as a free-for-all and a
FRESH BOWL of WATER. Then if you choose, put out a dish
of canned or human food as a treat, but remember to clean this up once
you notice your kitten no longer wants it, because it will spoil
quickly if left out, especially in the heat and upset your Ragdoll
babies' tummy.
eaving
your new baby on premium kitten foods will ensure good health,
silky coat
and a higher activity level. They will also have smaller
and less smelly stools which is good news for you!
e sure
to clean and refill the water dish at least twice daily (more if you
can). We recommend that you keep the food and water dishes near your
sink so that you will see it when you walk by and think of doing it
right then and there. Do not give your kitten or cat milk. This can
cause upset stomach and diarrhea in cats. Cats should only drink water
once they are weaned, if it is necessary there is specially formulated
kitten milk available from your pet store.
