By one year old, your kitten will be an adult cat. She may still act like a mischievous kitten, but her needs will have changed. Now that she's fully grown, she'll require an adult cat food that will provide her with the appropriate levels of nutrients, vitamins and minerals she needs through adulthood.
Feeding
Adult cats don't use as much energy as kittens, so continuing to feed her kitten food could cause her to become overweight. Y,our vet will be happy to advise you on your cat's food and recommend a suitable adult food. It's a good idea to transition her slowly from the kitten food to her new adult food, introducing it gradually over a five- to seven-day period to help get her used to the new taste and consistency.
Tasty Tips
BACK:
Your cat's back is marked by larger bones along the middle to support the weight of the torso. Muscles along the back are strong to help carry heavy prey over long distances if necessary.
BACK LEGS:
Your cat's back legs can only move backward and forward. The "knee" is the opposite of the "elbow" on front legs. They work together to give your cat a unique ability to spring and pounce.
FRONT LEGS:
Unlike the back legs, your cat's front legs can not only move forward and backward, but also rotate a bit so the underside of paws can be turned toward the face. This lets your cat clean and wash effectively.
PAWS:
Paws are so long that your cat actually walks more on its "fingers" supported by sensitive, dense pads. Claws can be retracted.
