Personally I prefer Azmura since its suited more to kittens then cats. There is also Wellness, Felidae, Blue Buffalo, Evolve, Hi Life and many more.

It depends where you live in the world. All major brands carry a food for kittens. The best foods are the ones with a high Named (labeled Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Lamb, Tuna etc.) meat content. Kittens need about twice as much Protein as adult cats, so the higher the meat content, the better. It is advisable to stay away from brands that include Corn, Wheat, Cereals and Soy in their foods - cats and kittens have difficulty in digesting this and can cause upset stomachs (diarrhea can quickly become fatal to kittens as they dehydrate easily), and do not provide any nutritional value to the kitten whatsoever.

Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Wellness, Felidae, Orijen, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), Applaws (70+% meat and comes in both tinned and dry), HiLife (60% meat), to name a few.

Pregnant cats need far more nutrition than an average cat, so the higher quality food with a very high (60%+) meat content, the better. Switching a pregnant cat onto a better food is strongly recommended as higher quality food has more nutrients (such as more protein) than lower quality foods. It is advised to keep feeding the queen this until the kittens are weaned off the mother's milk. It is ideal to feed her as much as she wants at this time.

As for brands, look for foods that are high in meat (listed as Chicken, Turkey, Fish etc) as the first ingredient, while keeping away from "meat meals". Grains, corn, wheat glutens, food colourings and additives. Canned food which is high in meat and free in grains are much easier to find than dry food with the same specifications.

It depends on the age. If your cat is under 4 weeks, NO. A big fat NO. You can give a kitten purina kitten chow once it is weaned. If the kitten is 4 weeks or under, it will need KMR.

How many scoops of food should you give your kitten?

Kittens are constantly growing and developing, so they need all the nutrients they can get. Typically, a kitten will need twice as much protein as an adult cat, so it is usually best to feed the kitten as much as it needs until it is around a year old. It really doesn't matter if you feed them just dry food or soft, as long as the food has plenty of meat in it and no cereals, grains or corn in. For young kittens, soft food will be easier for them to eat.
