I have two kitties. One is 13 years old and I think weighed in at about 13 pounds last time he was weighed. The other is a 6 month old kitten, that weighed in at 7.7 pounds. The older cat does not have kidney issues yet, but it looks like he's headed that way so my vet wanted to put him on K/D diet. Most everyone I spoke to (aside from the vet) suggested I just get more moisture in his diet by giving him more wet food. Max (older cat) was used to eating nothing but dry for his entire life, with wet food as an occasional treat.
I wasn't entirely sure what route I wanted to take for Max's potential issues, so I compromised. I switched both boys over to primarily wet food, with some kibble in the evening. The canned food is Nutro Max (wet version of the dry he used to eat), and for the kibble I did get him the K/D. I put down a 5.5 oz can twice daily for the boys to split, and in the evening put the kitten's kibble downstairs (Max doesn't like his food so he won't eat it) and I basically guard Max to keep the kitten from stealing his food while he munches on his kibble upstairs.
Is this enough food for them? I'm used to free feeding kibble and I don't want them to be hungry.
