    how much?

    I guess this has probably been done before but I'm just wondering how much should Bramble be eating? for now I'm just feeding her when she asks for food but the last week or so she's been eating nearly 4 pouches of wet food plus a couple of handfuls of dried a day is this normal? she's about 4months old

    MC babes are a bottomless pit & it's really hard to overfeed them,my girl at that age was out eating the 10kg boys by miles,the one good thing is it does pull back as they mature....x

    that's ok then, my theory has been that she's a baby so treat her like a human one and current advice for little babies is feed on demand :D guess they have growth spurts like babies too where they will eat more?

    As they get older & have growth spurts they can actually go the other way & not eat so much or hardly at all & then they make you panic as you think they are really ill then you look at them & think you've grown & off they go again,one of the wonderful quirks of a MC....!

    My little Ginger eats all day long, I give her a 1/4 can of kitten chow 4 times a day and she has dry kitten kibble always available, yet her vet says she is skinny for her age. She weighs 4# 2 oz. She is always looking for food! She will stand in the dog dish and eat their food too! Is this normal?, she does not have worms she had been to the vet and dewormed and received vaccinations. Very happy and spunky kitten.
