Thread: How much are your kittens eating?

I've been thinking the same Tomian, but having read all the replies you had, I think we're probably just being anxious parents ! Harry was on the Royal Canin 36 but seemed more interested in Poppy's tuna, so I put a bit on top and he woofed it down. Since then I've just been adding a bit of chicken or tuna to his dry food and that seems to work better. He never eats all of it, so as to not leave it hanging around, i change it 3 times a day and then just leave the dry food out for the night. Don't worry she will be fine me luv !

Never, ever cook chicken with bones. The bones turn hard and can puncture the inside of the cat. This can kill them!!!!! If you feed a cat something with bones inside, be sure to give it absolutely raw.
Kittens need to be able to eat throughout the whole day. The extra's you can give them regardless. They need to grow a lot so they need food. If they like to eat the adult food, it's oke. When I have kittens they have acces to dried food, kitten variety. After a while you notice the mum and all other cats in the house eat the kittenfood and the kitten is having the adult food.
So, with more cats in the house it's no problem to only put the adult food. The Maine Coon is a big cat and growing slowly. If one is staying behind in growth perhaps it will be bigger after a year. It differs from cat to cat, even when they are brother and sister. Always remember it will take them about 3-4 years to reach their final weight and hight.

I also ask for help about this argue. Mellow is 7 months old and weighs 5.8 kg (if I've coverted well, should be 12.8 lb). He has always one bowl full of Orjen dry cat food, and another one in which I put (how to say in english???) damp food... I give him a tin a day (100gr total that should be 0.22 lb) of "enova" food, made in Italy, half in the morning and half in the evening.
Is too much? Or not?
I'm trying to do everything possible to make this post understandable!!!

That is a good size, so you must be doing fine. 100g per day of wet food is not much for a male growing that fast, but as long as he has plenty of high protein dry (and plenty of water), it does not really matter. Our older male certainly ate much more wet food than that each day at that age, but he begged for it, and not all cats are as excited by the wet food. In some sense it is just a very expensive way to get fluids into them (cans say moisture max is like 70+%).

I have often wondered if we are feeding Chester enough or too much. He is just over 4 months old and is almost 3kg. He eats in a day:

Breakfast: 1/5 pouch of whiskas
a 'palm' sized portion of raw beef or kangaroo mince

Snacks: MC kitten 36

Dinner: Same as breakfast

Snacks: biscuits.

We don't let him graze or he eats too many biscuits and then he sometimes gets an upset stomach from gorging!

hey just seen this thread lol
i did not know cats were allowed raw meats or tuna! i know they can have tuna in very small ammounts never for a kitten but not alot as it causes a sore tummy?
