Siamese kittens aged 2 to 5 months are in their growth period. During this rapid growth phase, kittens require a significant amount of calories.

A kitten weighing 1 kilogram needs 130-250 calories per day when it is 3-4 months old. After six months, this drops to 100 calories, and adult cats need 80 calories. In terms of nutrition, cats are primarily carnivores, so they require a relatively high amount of animal protein.

In addition, insufficient calcium intake can lead to incomplete development of bones, teeth, and claws; insufficient taurine can cause blindness or cardiovascular disease; and insufficient vitamin A can also cause visual impairment or deterioration of skin condition. These nutrients should be supplemented. Kittens require 40% more calcium during their developmental stage than adult cats.

Because kittens need a variety of nutrients for development, feeding them only cat meat will lead to malnutrition. However, giving them excessive vitamins can cause poisoning. In the past, many cat owners fed them leftovers, but back then, cats could hunt small animals outside to supplement their diet.

Nowadays, cats are mostly kept indoors, so cat owners need to pay special attention to their nutrition. If you don't have proper nutritional knowledge, it's best not to prepare food for your cat yourself. Feeding your cat commercially produced cat food is a good way to ensure their healthy growth. It is recommended that cat owners choose different foods according to the cat's life stage (juvenile stage, adult stage, gestation period, etc.).

Finally, it's worth noting that while kittens eat a lot during their developmental stages, they generally learn to control their food intake. For kittens, as long as they're willing to eat, it's fine to feed them several meals a day; there's no need to restrict their feeding frequency.
