>>Hi All,
>>
>>I'm getting two 12 week old kittens sometime during the first half of January. I've always fed my cats dry food, but I'm wondering if you fed your kittens some wet food as well when they were small. Also, which brands are really nutritious and which are just full of junk? I'd appreciate any input.

Firstly, conCATualations on adopting your Tonk babies and welcome to the Tonk board! I hope you have kitten proofed you house against curious little paws. As for what to feed: Personally I feed Purina One kitten formula (it's in a turqouise bag) and Friskies wet food. I feed wet food every day (twice to three times a day) until they are about 8 months of age then I cut the wet food down to a couple times a week or completely out all together. I also gradually change them over to the adult formula of Puria One: Mixing the two formulas together gradually increasing the adult formula until that's all they're eatting, usually. My one 14 month old Turkish Angora girl, Sunburst (who BTW is now a GRAND Champion *preens*) is so highly active I've had to keep her on the kitten food otherwise she doesn't hold her weight. However, before you go out and buy ANY food I would ask the breeder what they are feeding. Any change in diet should be done gradually as a sudden change can lead to upset tummies. Again, conCATulation on your new babies! I look forward to hearing about their antics and seeing more pics of them!
