Product description

A wet cat food for kittens up to 4 months, during the first growth phase. This creamy mousse helps your kitten to make the transition from milk to solid food.

Royal Canin believes that a cat's diet should take into consideration all the parameters of life, such as age, breed, lifestyle, physiology and individual circumstances. Royal Canin First Age Mother & Babycat Mousse is a healthy cat food based on Royal Canin's commitment to the highest quality and is tailored to meet the nutritional needs of kittens in their first growth phase up to 4 months of age.

Your kitten is not yet a cat!
Kittens require specifically tailored nutrition.
Imagine we are talking about human beings - would you feed your baby the same diet as an adult? Of course not! Babies have a sensitive digestive system, small jaws and no teeth, so could not, for example, bite into an apple as an adult could. Comparisons such as this make it easier to understand why our young pets require a whole different kind of food from their adult counterparts.
With a few breed- and gender-specific different, cats up to 12 months need tailored diets in order to reach healthy adulthood. The Royal Canin Kitten range offers your kitten the perfect start, so you can choose the ideal combination of wet and dry food.

The time frame between when a mother cat's protection is no longer enough and your kitten's own immune system has not yet developed properly can cause an "immunological gap".
Chewing is also limited. Nutrients reach the stomach without being properly pre-digested by enzymes in the saliva.
Kittens need many small meals, sometimes eating 10-16 times per day.

Royal Canin First Age Mother & Babycat Mousse is a food specially designed for kittens in the first phase of growth, a vital time of development for your young cat. This tailored food offers good flavour, smell and texture, helping to achieve long-term, instinctive acceptance. This wet food contains all necessary nutrients to meet the increased energy need of kittens. It has a creamy mousse texture, which makes it easier for your kitten to make the move from milk to solids.

Benefits of dry food: concentrated nutrients and a texture that cleans teeth and supports dental health.
Benefits of wet food: the high moisture content can reduce the risk of urinary tract problems and help maintain a healthy weight.

Feeding guide

Feeding recommendation:
The daily amount if Royal Canin First Age Mother & Babycat Mousse is fed exclusively, in trays per day:

Cat's age	Amount of food
4 weeks	gradual change
8 weeks	1 - 1 1/4 trays
12 weeks	1¼ - 1½ trays/small>
+ 16 weeks	1¼ - 1¾ trays
Lactating cats	As required

Daily amount when fed in combination with Royal Canin Babycat dry food:

Cat's age	Amount of food
8 weeks	1/2 tray + 17 - 29g
12 weeks	1/2 tray + 27 - 44g
+ 16 weeks	1/2 tray + 31 - 51 g
Lactating cats	As required

Changing from one food to another should be done gradually so your cat's intestinal flora has sufficient time to adapt to a new food. Mix Royal Canin wet food in gradually increasing proportions into your cat's existing diet over a period of 7 days. This gradual change lowers the risk of diarrhoea. Excessive food intake may also cause digestive problems.

Please note that these are only guidelines. Actual feeding amounts should be adjusted according to your cat's age, activity levels and circumstances. Monitor your cat's weight and adjust feeding amounts as required. Fresh water should be provided at all times.

When I adopted a pregnant stray I realised some specialist food was in order. Although initially she wasn't bothered, my cat went crazy for this while she was nursing, seemed to be exactly the kind of high calorie food she was needing, and the kittens weaned easily. They've moved on to all sorts of foods now at eight weeks but still love the mousse. Pricey, but not much is wasted as if it dries out you can mix it with water and it goes smooth again, or use more water and turn it into cat soup!

My kitten is crazy for the Royal Canon kitten food, specially this Mousse. We give her it 4 times a day in small portions and she can't wait until its Mousse time of the day! She gets very healthy stool from it and her coat is getting shinyer and shinyer. Recommend!

Kitten got excited each time she was eating it !

Ordered this for our nursing Mama Maine Coon cat. Already distrust the brand from their filler based Maine Coon food, this has lots of sugar in it and dubious 'animial derivatives' Look at the ingredients in Thrive complete kitten, chicken flavour: Chicken Breast (70%), Chicken stock, Sunflower Oil, Vitamins & Minerals. Going to stick to this, Royal Canin is dodgy, they make cheap food and market it as good for cats but they are not transparent with what goes in it. I don't trust them.

Lovely consistency - a smooth mousse - so an easy first food for the kittens to eat. Mum loves it too. I tried every first kitten food from Zooplus and this was very definitely the favorite but agree with a previous review its a shame about the the addition of sugars. Maybe this is why they like it so much. But the up side is that they love it and mum has four strong, very energetic, healthy beautiful kittens

I use this to ween my kittens on great to get them used to food

We have our first litter of pedigree russian blue kittens and weaning them has been so easy with this. Its a lovely smooth pate that is easy for them to eat. All four babies rush to the plate now when its meal time and we have to keep mum from eating it!! Will definitely be using for future litters.

This mousse is popular with breeders for weaning kittens, it can be mixed with cimicat milk, or raw food or fed alone, warm or cold, it's versatile. It's very dense so filling and high calorie so good for growing little ones. My current litter however don't care for it! Quite expensive too.

My 3 month old kitten loves it. She gets impatient as soon as I open the can. The only issue is that the can is too big.

My Bengal kitten loves it, great for delicate tums!

So my two 8 week-old rascals thought this food was pretty special. It was only afterwards that I saw how much sugar was in it. Shame.

My 3 month old kitten just loves these cans. He eats it all up. The cans are a bit big for a kitten, but they can be stored easily in the fridge with a cover, to make a few meals.

My 3 month old kitten loves it. Super product

11/11/13 |originally published in zooplus.fr

I rescued a 6 week old kitten and I just started to give him some of this foam. It is not greasy and easy to eat for her. For conservation I buy covers which allows me to put this in the fridge without putting an unpleasant smell in my fridge. With a 195g box I get 9 meals or meal supplements. So this is very cost effective.
