Mother & Babycat Ultra Soft Mousse

Over the course of the last several years, several of my girls have had litters of kittens. I have also fostered pregnant cats. It is imperative that kittens, as well as pregnant, and new mother cats, receive proper nutrition. I feed Royal Canin Mother & Babycat, to all litters of kittens, and to their mothers. It is great for their brains, bodies, and coats. I also feed it to pregnant cats to help with the prenatal development of their litter, as well as to ensure that the soon-to-be mother cat is receiving all of the nutrition that she needs. A pregnant cat is eating for more than one, and in most cases, she is eating for an additional five to six babies. Mother & Babycat is an ultra-soft mousse that kittens, and adults, love. The texture is very appealing to kittens as they develop their preferences for textures, and flavours, of food. It is very easy to digest. It provides essential nutrients that developing kittens need. One can begin using Mother & Babycat once the kittens begin to wean, at about one month to two months of age, depending on the kittens. I feed the mousse in combination to the dry food. A weaning kitten will continue to nurse its mother, even up to six months of age. The act of nursing is calming to kittens, even if the mother cat is no longer producing milk. Generally, most kittens are fully weaned by two-and-a-half to three months of age, but some continue to nurse for several more months. While this is normal, the weaning time is generally shortened when the nutritional value of the cat food is good. Royal Canin is an excellent brand of food for cats. I highly recommend it. I also recommend purchasing it from Amazon. Because Royal Canin is quality cat food, and not toxic junk, it is, in my opinion, very expensive cat food. With Amazon, the pricing is fair, there are always sales and special deals on pet foods, and with Subscribe and Save, one saves even more money with regular deliveries. I have paid as much as $21.99 + tax, for this 12 pack of canned food, when purchasing it in various pet stores. With Amazon, I have never paid more than $17. Amazon offers an excellent value for the money, and it is money well spent. I am no longer using the Mother & Babycat, at this time, because the cats that I have have grown past the age where it is necessary. I have switched to them to different food. However, if and when I have another pregnant cat, or litter of kittens: I will begin using it again. I swear by it.

So far sooo great!!! A rescue kitten, at only 3 1/2 weeks old, came into my life just over 1 month ago. While I was looking to adopt a rescue, it seemed like many of the rescue agencies used & suggested a certain brand, even at so young. I was rather surprised. I did not find my little girl from a typical rescue agency, so I was asking around, a lot!! The “cat expert” at a Petsmart I went to, had mentioned that this SUPER wealthy family in Newport ONLY feed their animals this brand. I thought, of course a wealthy family goes for the priciest food, right? So, after passing on the Royal Canin the 1st time, thinking Petsmart was just trying to up-sell me, I started doing more research. Then, I finally tried a few cans of the BABYCAT Instinctive. Kitten was at the “weaning formula” stage at this point, and, great advertising/lingo of the health benefits or not, she not only immediately took to it, but her coat seemed to become healthier; so shiny in just 2 days!! Since then, I have attempted 2 other brands — understanding that changing food brands can cause some tummy upset the first couple of day. I tried to do a 1/2 & 1/2 cross-over, twice. While she’d eat it, it seemed very clear that the change was not pleasant for her or myself!! Oh!! The smells of the other 2 brands were NOT fun (fresh out of the can, or at the other end!). I get it. Even if it smells bad to us, if it’s good for her, it’s worth it. I just haven’t been able to find ANY other brand that she loves so much!! Beyond the ingredients that give me peace of mind, it really seems to make her coat shine, and she smells so good!! Most kittens/cats will have that cat smell. She actually smells good!! I can’t explain it. Also, her “business” is far less stinky than with the other brands I tried (yes, she’s completely off the weaning formula already). Pros: Ingredients, SMELL, kitten loves it, & it truly does feel like I’m giving her the best possible nutrition, especially being that she so obviously didn’t have mother’s milk for anywhere near long enough. Cons: Cost$$. I felt like it was going to hurt. I FELT like I was being suckered into giving my kitten what this ultra wealthy fam fed their animals, it did. I will always go for a better priced brand, IF, it works as well...on many ranges of products. Now, as long as I shop smart, I am able to find this exact brand & style (I’m keeping her on the BABYCAT stage/level for the recommended 4 months of age) in bulk, at a great price!! I’m able to match, or even beat, the other “top line” brand pricing!! I end up spending approx $1.69/day feeding her a quality product that we both love. There are deals out there!! Bottom Line: Worth it!! For her AND for my nose!!

Purchased for baby kitten got from a rescue. He did not want to eat the kitten food from store. I tried several brands to no avail. I was getting worried because he was loosing weight. He loves this!!! He ate right away. Very soft food. It very moist and perfect for such a small kitten I researched what food to buy, as in best nutrition and so on. Royal Canine rated very high. I don’t notice any smell but, kitten must. He ate right away👍. Highly recommend.

We bought this a few times and it is necessary for our momma cat that has kittens she is feeding.

It’s the best you can buy. My cats inhale it! Even if you can’t afford the price for extended periods of time, it’s still worth getting some during the first month of birth.

I have fostered almost 50 cats and kittens and I swear by this stuff! It is the best food to wean kittens on to, and great for picky adult cats as well. The only downside is the price, but it’s worth it to save tiny lives!

Our Queen enjoyed the meal, but did have loose stools the next day. I am uncertain if this is from the food or another reason, but it did happen two days in a row. Kittens are too young for solid food.

Our foster kittens love this! They eat it up quickly. We always have some quality confidence with Royal Canin and don’t want to feed animals anything else.

My cat absolutely loves this. It’s soft and easy for her to eat after giving birth, and I feel good knowing it supports her recovery.

Best food for kittens

Good product, highly recommended, i like the quality also the quantity, you can give for your cat in one meal no need to worry to put in the fridge

Is a good item and healthy for kittens with frequent vowel movements! However, kittens become fussy and one of them doesn’t like this now which is a shame.

my cats love the food
