Can overeating cause soft stools?

Pepper is a growing almost 15 week old kitten with a growing appetite (she weighed 3 lbs at her spay 3 weeks ago). She is free fed dry and gets two meals of wet a day, one in the AM and one in the PM. My adults get 1.5 ounces of wet at each meal time but Pepper consumes 3 ounces at a sitting. Is it possible that that is too much food for her little belly at one time and it is causing soft stools? I'll be honest and say that I'm not sure if I offered 3 ounces at one sitting if my adults would be able to eat it all.

She is active, been wormed twice and UTD on shots.

I think it is definitely possible. Jake has had soft stools from overeating. I think you could increase frequency of feeding and feed less per serving. Pepper eats dry food as well though, right? Maybe she has a preference for wet and waits until she gets the wet to eat, and by then she is really hungry and she overeats. This is what used to happen with Jake. As a kitten he barely ever ate any dry and just waited for me to feed him his wet and overate on it several times..I dunno but if you don't have time to do more than 2 feedings per day, you could give her no more than a certain amount and still free feed the dry to see if her stools get better....

Since I'm home today, no work I'm trying this to see how it goes, smaller meals. Also because she has had freedom during the day she hasn't had the opportunity to get as much dry have to keep it out of reach of the adults I think if smaller meals works for her I'm going to create a box with a hole only she can fit through so she can access dry during the day.
