I have been using the feeding guide that natures variety offers on their site. Now that Geran and Lucius are about six months old I was wondering if I should be feeding them less. They seem to be not eating as much at various times during the day. Somedays one won't eat much breakfast, sometimes it's lunch or dinner. Should I cut back and feed them according to the active cat guidelines? It's about half of what the growing kittens get. Does anyone have any tips?

I would cut back some, they are still growing but not nearly as much as before.

How many times a day are you feeding or are you free feeding them>>??
most directions on the kitten foods say go from unlimited to measured servings a day ...

Three times a day, Geran is 8lbs and he gets 6.7 oz, Lucius is 6lbs and gets 5.2 oz. I'm feeding them the natures variety raw diet.
Sharky, is it okay to free feed as long as they arent getting fat?
