Im a little confused still as to the portion sizes for both the wet and dry food, and when I should increase them.
I feed my 3 month old kitten (2.5 lbs) 1/4 3oz. can, morning and night (TOTAL 1/2 can a day). Then I leave out 1/8 cup of dry kitty food about every 2 hours or so, for him to nibble on. I dont want to leave out a large amount, because I know he will eat it even if hes not hungry (hes a fatty!). TOTAL of about 1/2 cup of dry a day. The package says that is the correct serving amount, for his weight (1/4 cup to 1/2 cup).
QUESTION: WHEN DO I RAISE THE AMOUNT I FEED HIM, AND BY HOW MUCH?
Also, my doctor gave me these liquid vitamins that I shoot into his wet food once a day. She said it was safe on an everyday basis, for life.
I READ in my "Kittens for DUmmies" book that kittens can have a vitamin overdose which leads to other horrible disfunctions. I cant remember what it was, and I dont have the book near me now.
What is your opinion?
ANY EXPERIENCED MOTHERS/FATHERS THINK VITAMINS ARE NECESSARY? or will their food suffice for the vitamins needed??

That was the first day I got him. Now hes about 1.5 pounds heavier and a little longer. HOW FAST THEY GROW!
