How much Food??

[jckkerrison]

hey all, sorry might be highjacking this thread a bit but I guess it's going to be beneficial to Lincoln in the long run....
wondering if everyone has the same experience as me: Neevie when she was "little" - up to 18 months I think - ate like a tiger! she was ALWAYS hungry, however much I fed her - if I boiled chicken (for her) she was actually trying to climb my leg getting to the boiling pan - really, in a permanent state of starvation - I fed her up to 6 pouches a day, she didn't like dry kibble much at the time... and really had to make the last pouch of the night a double one if I wanted to have some peace in the night.
now, she doesn't finish her 2 pouches a day, she does like a bit of dry kibble but not too much... the only thing she really jumps on is the "webbox lick-e-lix" - supposedly chicken yoghurt.
She is not skinny so I am not worried, but I am wondering about that... is that everyone else's experience too, that they eat like they've been starved for about a year and a half and then it abruptly stops?

Hi alekto.... I call that very natural.... although I said mine pull back a lot once they are adults perhaps I did word that a bit wrong, sorry, by 15 to 18 months they are eating a lot lot less than as a kitten but by the time they reach the 4 yr mark it seems to drop even more, I sometimes wonder how Shimba manages to tip over 10kg as his meal is quite miserly he lets his brother step in & eat the bits that he likes so he never eats his full share of a meal bless him.....!
