can cats be given human vitamins to make them grow big and strong
-
You should not give vitamins to a cat unless on vets advice, some can be very dangerous.
-
ok thanks its just that i want my cats to be nice and strong and well built any ideas?
-
Not really, just give a good quality cat food and not too much, far too many people overfeed their cats and that does them no favours at all.
His build will come from his genes. It is just a matter of Que sera

:welcome:
How old are your cats/kittens?
And what do you currently feed them?
-
If your cats are fed on a good quality cat food they will grow up strong and healthy. They dont need extra vitamins and, as has already been said, adding extra vitamins can be dangerous. The only supplements I give are an essential fatty acid supplement and a probiotic to my 10 year old. My 2 year old gets no extra supplements and he's big, strong and healthy with a nice, shiny fur coat ;D

2 of them are brothers they are about 20 weeks
the female i have is about 17 weeks
they are currently being fed whiskers kitten pouches i believe
-
Thats a good diet to be giving them, its complete so will help them grow well. Size is more down to breeding and genes as Ela pointed out.
Have you arranged for the boys to be neutered yet?
-
the boys and the girl are being neutered and spayed very soon also recieving 1st injections soon and will be going back a few weeks later for 2nd jab :briggin:
-
