Thread: Proper Feeding

Hey Leona~
I feed my two maine coon kittens the Royal Canin Instinctive kitten food (wet) and the Maine Coon 31 by the same company. My male "Ollie" and his sister "Sissy" eat 3 cans of wet EACH :0) and unlimited dry food daily, along with tons of water. Here is our routine: They wake up my husband at 5 am. They get some kitty treats in the kitchen. 7 a.m. first round of wet food, one can each. At 1pm they either share one can or both have a can depending on activity/hunger. 7 pm Dinner of 1 can each. Bed time: a few more kitty treats.
Some times their poos are runnier than normal and they are stinky all of the time. Oh my goodness, run you out of the house stink! LOL

I've been feeding this combo for 7 months. I've tried changing to cheaper/different brands from time to time, but it always turns out awful. Puking, even smellier and runnier poos, tummy aches, and sad faces from them. About every three months their appetites lag for a week or so and then they will eat a third more of their normal food for a week or so. They act like they are starving! We have concluded that this eating behavior happens just before a MAJOR growth spurt.

Ollie and Sissy just enjoyed their first birthday on June 8th and I'm wondering if I should switch them to adult wet food now. I don't know how long Coonies are considered to be "kittens".

I am happy that you are smitten with your kitty! I adore mine as well, they are characters for sure!
