Cats are generally friendly and affectionate with their owners; however they may seem to be distant at times. If your usually friendly cat suddenly gives you a cold shoulder, you should try to pay attention.

One important reason for a cat’s hostile behavior towards his owner is the arrival of a new baby or a new spouse. Cats hate any change in the household routine and the arrival of a new baby or a new spouse can certainly have a profound effect on everybody’s routine.

The change in routine can stress your kitty and you will soon find him giving you the cold shoulder, trying his best to avoid interacting with you or the rest of the household.

Kittens go through a phase of rapid growth spurts during the first few weeks of life. In order to support the needs of the body during this time of explosive growth and high activity levels, kittens need about three times the energy needs of adult cats.

Their high caloric requirement makes it difficult for growing kittens to get enough calories in a single meal. In order to meet their needs for calories, kittens should be fed at least 3-4 meals a day.

Kittens have higher needs for protein and minerals than adult cats; however their requirement for fat, essential fatty acids and most vitamins are similar with adult cats. It is for these reasons that kittens should be fed premium quality kitten food until they are one year of age.
