From four months until maturity, a kitten’s growth rate actually slows and therefore their energy requirements are different. At the same time, it’s important to provide the right nutrient balance for optimal development.

The Persian is known for its long, beautiful coat and brachycephalic (flat) face. Cats with flat facial characteristics use the lower side of their tongue to pick up kibbles which is why an almond shape kibble is easier for them to eat. Additionally, the average total length of the hair on a Persian cat is 230 miles, making skin and coat health, along with hairball management, a top priority.
