Thread: How much are your kittens eating?

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?

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!
