How much Food??

[Castlecat]

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?

Children are the same!!! I guess its when they're growing they eat masses and then they stop. My seven year old is very much like a maine coon in terms of build and personality. I think that's why I chose the breed!!!!

From what I have read you should feed kittens as much as they want as cats won't over eat. They need the extra food as they are growing, when they are adults they should be fed around 2/3% of their body weight.
