Bengal cat is half predator, therefore meat must be included in her diet. Her stomach has a shortened form, which indicates the impossibility of feeding only plant food. Food should be presented in large pieces, because this size allows for the prevention of various diseases of the teeth.

Initially, the kitten is completely dependent on the mother, because it feeds on her milk. He stops sucking milk at about two to three months old. Already in one month, the kitten does not have enough of the elements it receives from cat milk, since during this period it begins to grow and develop fairly quickly. From 1–1.5 months it is worthwhile to add the first lures to the kitten’s diet. They should be moist and soft, because the digestive tract has not yet switched to the digestion of solid food. Over time, the diet of a kitten should be diluted with coarser food.
