What Should I Feed My Cat? A Simple Guide for South African Cat Owners

At SnoutBox.com, we understand that choosing the right food for your cat can feel confusing — especially with so many options available. Every cat is unique, and their nutritional needs change depending on age, lifestyle, and health. This guide is designed to help you choose the right cat food with confidence, from the comfort of your home.

Start With Your Cat’s Life Stage

Your cat’s nutritional needs evolve as they grow:

• Kittens need nutrient-dense food to support growth, brain development, and energy.

• Adult cats require balanced nutrition to maintain healthy weight, digestion, and coat condition.

• Senior cats benefit from food that supports joints, digestion, and overall vitality.

Consider Special Dietary Needs

Some cats require specialised diets due to:

• Sensitive digestion

• Weight control needs

• Food intolerances
