Hi Everyone

My 4 month old baby cat Cola seems to be getting sick of kitten food. I have bought every variety of the meat and dry food to give him variety which has been fine until now.

I know that he's in a very important growth phase at the moment and needs the higher calorie food to help him grow but what I'm finding is he is leaving almost half a wet meal now (he gets 2 a day) and not eating many biscuits.

What he does do, however, is to eat quite a few of the biscuits we have out for Pepsi which are different kinds of adult complete biscuits and I've found if I give him one adult wet meal as well as his 2 half eaten kitten ones he wolfs that down too.

I was just wondering if there will be any negative effect on his health and general growth to feed additional adult food (which he is loving) as well as some kitten food (which he just seems to tolerate ) ?

I hate how for kittens, wet food-wise, there are only a few varieties as it seems he is turning his nose up more at the very processed meats and prefers those closer to natural fish and meats of the adult variety. His appetitie is very very healthy if I give him a lovely 90% natural adult meat pouch but very slow with the kitten food.

Any poinions would be much appreciated
