Lets start with the cons first and then go to the pros.
Making homemade kitten food can be time consuming. Lets face it; there is nothing easier then opening a bag or can and pouring it into a bowl. When you make your own kitten food you will have to set some time aside every two to three days to prepare the food.
The more your cats eating habits resemble what he would eat out in the wld the longer he will live. Plus, the more you make your own food the shorter amount of time it will take you.
In the beginning, making your own kitten food can be more costly. A kittens diet consists of raw meat and vegetables.
Over time you will actually save money by feeding your cat homemade kitten food. When your cat gets the nutrition his body needs he has a stronger immune system so he will get sick much less often. That means less money on vet bills. You will still have to get your kitten his shots but you will be taking a sick cat to the vet a whole lot less. Also, when your kitten gets the nutrition he needs he will eat less everyday.
Before you start feeding your kitten homemade food you need to do your homework. Cats have different food allergies then we do and some of our food is actually poision to them.
Garlic, onions, and tomatoes are poison. Cats should not eat any thing that is in the same food group as onions and garlic. Kittens are also lactose intolerant and where as it won’t kill them it will make them sick and that would defeat the purpose of feeding your cat homemade food.
Just like anything else, after you learn the rules and follow them, they become second nature so you won’t even have to think about them.
