I have a male MC about 8mnts old and approx 9lbs. We have been feeding him Triumphs kitten food Turkey and Seafood,being that these are the only two flavors they come in. Question is .... When do I begin feeding him cat food instead of kitten food. Thank you

OFA (Orthopedic Foundation for Animals) advises not to give too long kitten food; they should be put on cat food at 4 months. Apparently, in kitten food there's too much growth stimulant and since the MC is a slow grower, this process should not be forced.
