In terms of growth and development, a cat is considered an adult at about 12 months old. It is generally believed that a cat needs to be 1 year old or later to be considered an adult. Although cats have their first estrus when they are half a year old, their bodies are not fully developed at this time and they cannot be bred.

Feeding methods for adult cats

1. Feed dry cat food: Adult cats like to chew dry cat food, so try not to feed them soaked cat food.

2. Adult cats need to be fed the same number of times a day. The cat owner can reasonably adjust the feeding amount based on body weight and daily activity.

3. Generally speaking, feeding the cat twice a day is sufficient. Do not feed the cat too much food to avoid excessive obesity.

4. Adult cats also need regular vaccinations and internal and external deworming. It is recommended to do external deworming once a month and internal deworming every three months.
