Cats and kittens have completely different nutritional needs to dogs and cats. There are things that you would happily give other animals that are actually poisonous to felines. Always ensure that you steer clear of the cheap cat food in favor of a top quality brand which will have all the nutrition and vitamins that your pet need to stay healthy.
A cats' eyes are probably their most important feature, so that they can see in the dark etc. There are some serious diseases that lead to blindness, and one way to protect your cat's eyes is to ensure that they have Taurine in their diet. This amino acid keeps their eyes bright and healthy.

Raw liver is one way to give your cat their Vitamin A, but a lot of cats refuse to eat it, and a lot of owner find it abhorrent. Braking open a capsule of cod liver oil and adding it to their normal food is a much more acceptable of doing it. On every tin and packet of cat food there is a feeding guide. Please remember that this is very general and there are all sorts of factors that also must be taken into consideration.

You cat is unique so these guides should never be followed to the letter. Never ever over feed your cat.
