Cats/kittens need different things at different points in their lives. If it were me, I'd check with the vet and see what he tells you is best at this point in his life ... be sure to tell him what you have fed him up to this point.
I always supplement my cats (when I have cats) and my dogs with chicken and rice with carrots.
Boil the chicken until it falls off the bone ... remove all bone ... cut meat into bite size chunks.
Cut the carrots in 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices crosswise (making little wheels out of the carrots).
Drain the liquid off the chicken into a bowl or pot, measure it.
With most natural rice (NOT instant) you use 2 parts chicken water/broth to 1 part rice (2 cups broth/water to 1 cup rice).
Measure the water and the rice and return to pot.
Add chicken and carrots.
After the water comes to a boil the first time, cover and cook about 20 minutes.
Allow to cool. Then, share a meal with your kitty or puppy!
This recipe works wonders if they have diarrhea also! (I did volunteer work at the SPCA and I gave this recipe to them 25 years ago, they still use it.)

Everytime we have plain rice at home, I have to cook enough for my Danes also, or they will set there and drool the whole time. For them I add a little chicken bullion or beef bullion to add to the flavor. I do this by using one cube to 1/2 cup water and microwave it until it is dissolved, then pour it over their rice. (If you have made beef stew or vegtable soup, you can use the liquid from that to pour over the dogs/cats rice, instead of using a chicken or beef bullion cube.)
