catcat® Guide
What type of cat food is best for my cat?
The right cat food depends on the cat’s life stage, lifestyle, and tolerance. General statements about "the best" food are rarely helpful because the nutritional needs of kittens, adult cats, and senior cats differ.
What to Consider When Making Your Choice
stage of life
Kittens require different care than adult cats as they grow. The focus for adult cats is on daily routines, physical condition, and lifestyle. Formulas tailored to senior cats' later stage of life are beneficial.
Lifestyle
Indoor-only cats often have different energy needs than active cats that get plenty of exercise. Spaying or neutering can also affect food preferences.
Tolerance
If your cat is sensitive to changes in food or certain ingredients, you should choose its food carefully. This advice does not replace a diagnosis and does not make any medical claims.
Focus
Depending on the cat, factors such as growth, daily feeding, appropriate energy intake, and later life stages may be more important. The feeding advisor considers these priorities.

When Additional Counseling Is Recommended
Bei Allergieverdacht, Erkrankungen, starkem Gewichtsverlust, anhaltendem Durchfall, Erbrechen, Fressunlust oder wiederkehrenden Verdauungsproblemen solltest du die Fütterung tierärztlich abklären lassen. Der catcat® Futterberater ist eine Produktauswahlhilfe, kein medizinisches Diagnosewerkzeug.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a spayed cat need special food?
After spaying or neutering, a dog’s energy needs may change. A formula tailored to these needs may therefore be beneficial.
Can the counselor identify an incompatibility?
No. The consultant will ask for your opinion and help you choose a product. Any intolerance, allergy, or medical condition must be evaluated by a veterinarian.
Why is this life stage so important?
The life stage forms the basis of the recommendation. Therefore, an adult product is not promoted as the primary recommendation for kittens or senior cats.
