I'm not 100% sure of what you are asking. When you say "normal food" do you mean human food? If so, then the answer is no - they can't eat human food as their sole source of nutrition. Our food is not balanced for a cat's needs. It is best to feed cat food ESPECIALLY when they are kittens. They can have occasional human food (meats) as a treat but again, not as a sole source of nutrition. If you mean, canned cat food versus dry - either is fine. If you mean adult food versus kitten food - no, kitten food should be fed until they are a minimum of 8 month of age. I hope this answers your question. If not, you are welcome to post again - please be as specific as possible.
