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.

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.
