Happy Wednesday afternoon!

How to Feed Your Cat at Every Life Stage

Feeding your cat isn’t just about filling a bowl. It’s about giving them the right nutrients at the right time in their life.

Kittens grow quickly, so their diet should be rich in calories, protein, and fat to support muscle and bone development. They also need to eat more frequently (about three to four small meals a day) to match their fast metabolism and constant energy.

Adult cats require balance. Once your cat reaches maturity, usually around one year old, it’s important to maintain a steady feeding routine with portion-controlled meals. Most adult cats do well on two meals per day and need roughly 20 calories per pound of body weight to stay at a healthy size.

Senior cats benefit from diets that are easier to digest, with high-quality proteins and added omega-3 fatty acids to support muscle and joint health. As cats age, their appetite or dental health might change, so wet or soft food can be gentler and more appealing.

Staying in tune with your cat’s life stage, and making small dietary adjustments along the way, can help them stay healthy, active, and content from kittenhood to their golden years.

Nutrition Fit for Champions

When it comes to feeding his cat the right food, Jordan Stolz trusts Nulo because he knows what proper nutrition can do. Jordan is one of the most dominant speed skaters in history, holding multiple world records and winning 18 consecutive World Cup races. But when he returns home after months of competition, there's one family member especially happy to see him: Mitzi, his 9-year-old rescue cat.

Mitzi appeared at the Stolz family's door one winter, looking for food and shelter. After patience and treats, she became family and now provides Jordan comfort and escape from the pressure of elite competition. "As an athlete, I know how important nutrition is," says Jordan. "So of course we want our pets to have the same thing—the best nutrition possible.ā€

Jordan knows peak performance starts with premium nutrition, and he trusts Nulo to fuel Mitzi with the same quality he demands for himself. Visit Nulo today and discover why elite athletes like Jordan choose Nulo, and meet our other winter athletes– including world champions– who trust Nulo to fuel their best friends.
