Although pets are forever our puppies and kittens, animals also become adults. A cat, for example, is adult at the age of one year.
When the cat has reached one year of age, it is considered an adult cat. The transition to adulthood involves a number of changes in cat’s lifestyle.
The transition to adulthood in the cat
During the first months of life, the cat undergoes very rapid changes.
At the age of one month, the cat is already actively engaged in play, which is very important for socialization, that he develops fully between three and six months.
Once he reaches adulthood, between nine months and a year, the cat remains lively, but at the same time is able to control his instincts, especially when interacting with others.
What does an adult cat eat?
During the first few months, your cat needs to eat substantial food little and often, mostly protein and fat to meet his calorie requirements. Growing requires a significant amount of energy.
The adult cat, on the other hand, especially if neutered, needs less food, as he grows more slowly and his metabolism begins to slow down. When switching from kitten food to adult cat food, it is important to keep an eye on the weight.
