hi, i have not been on here in ages, hope every one is well. i recently adopted a kitten, 5 months old from one of our rescues. Her name is Penny and she is simply perfect! she is so loving and affectionate, i cant get enough of her!! But i have never ever had a kitten\\cat who eats as much as she does. she eats 4 sachets of Hills a day, she refuses their pellets or any pellets for that matter. in the morning after her breakfast she runs to my husband and waits for his cereal bowl and then waits for mine as well. if i am feeding the dogs , she tries to eat their food as well. she has been de wormed. she got stuck high up in a tree for about 3 hours yesterday and "could not " get down but when i showed her the sachet of her food , she came down very quickly and started meeowing for food!! i dont mind feeding her alot , i just wanted to know if anyone else has had a kitten/cat who eats so much and is it ok?

thank you very much
tash

Many kittens and young cats do eat alot. They are growing AND they are moving "very a lot".

Our younger boy did always ate his portion. After it he ate up his friendly dads portion. And after it he always did wanted more!
He got to be a big boy as half grown kitten. But as a full grown male he becoma rather small male, and he was on the rather meagre side...

If she's only 5 months she's most likely still growing and being hungry all the time is normal. Are the packets you're feeding her kitten food or adult? If she's hungry, and growing up but not getting fat you can still feed her kitten food. I know they say to transition at 6 months but every cat is different.
