Kitten's Food

[smurfchops]

Fur baby now seven months, eating two sachets spread over four meals. How do I cut out the lunchtime meal ? If I give her more in the morning she still wants feeding at lunchtime ! I cant remember how I did it with my last cat. Is two sachets a day enough, and at what age should I start with adult sachets? Thanks all

I would leave out dry food for her to snack on. Mine get fed in the morning and the late afternoon/evening but always have dried food available. They eat one tin between them.

Most kitten food I believe is up to 1 year - although generations of cats were raised healthily long before kitten specific food became available! Do you want to cut out the lunchtime because you won't be there? My cats would eat all day if it's given to them, I agree with ummmm to leave out dry food if you need to cut out the extra feed. 2 sachets is plenty IMO.

If I leave out a handful of dry food its all gone ! It is easier when I am out but if I am in she goes to her food bowl all the time ... Am I feeding her enough, two sachets a day? Its 70% meat, not Felix or Whiskas...

I think it's fairly normal for some cats to ask for food constantly, one of mine does, I give in and have to admit she is clearly fat. As long as your kitten looks a healthy size I'm sure she's fine. You'll probably be offered a 1 year check at your vets where they will weigh her and tell you if it's not OK.

I think two sachets are loads.
