Over the course of the last several years, several of my girls have had litters of kittens. I have also fostered pregnant cats. It is imperative that kittens, as well as pregnant, and new mother cats, receive proper nutrition. I feed Royal Canin Mother & Babycat, to all litters of kittens, and to their mothers. It is great for their brains, bodies, and coats. I also feed it to pregnant cats to help with the prenatal development of their litter, as well as to ensure that the soon-to-be mother cat is receiving all of the nutrition that she needs. A pregnant cat is eating for more than one, and in most cases, she is eating for an additional five to six babies. Mother & Babycat is an ultra-soft mousse that kittens, and adults, love. The texture is very appealing to kittens as they develop their preferences for textures, and flavours, of food. It is very easy to digest. It provides essential nutrients that developing kittens need. One can begin using Mother & Babycat once the kittens begin to wean, at about one month to two months of age, depending on the kittens. I feed the mousse in combination to the dry food. A weaning kitten will continue to nurse its mother, even up to six months of age. The act of nursing is calming to kittens, even if the mother cat is no longer producing milk. Generally, most kittens are fully weaned by two-and-a-half to three months of age, but some continue to nurse for several more months. While this is normal, the weaning time is generally shortened when the nutritional value of the cat food is good. Royal Canin is an excellent brand of food for cats. I highly recommend it. I also recommend purchasing it from Amazon. Because Royal Canin is quality cat food, and not toxic junk, it is, in my opinion, very expensive cat food. With Amazon, the pricing is fair, there are always sales and special deals on pet foods, and with Subscribe and Save, one saves even more money with regular deliveries. I have paid as much as $21.99 + tax, for this 12 pack of canned food, when purchasing it in various pet stores. With Amazon, I have never paid more than $17. Amazon offers an excellent value for the money, and it is money well spent. I am no longer using the Mother & Babycat, at this time, because the cats that I have have grown past the age where it is necessary. I have switched to them to different food. However, if and when I have another pregnant cat, or litter of kittens: I will begin using it again. I swear by it.
