We adopted two 8-week old kittens from our friends who were fostering them. They were being fed Friskies canned food. I'd like to switch them over to the canned brands that I feed my adult cats (Avoderm, TOTW, Blue Buffalo, Holistic Selects).
Are these wet brands OK for kittens, and is it OK to just start feeding them the new wet, or should I mix it, like you would for dry?
Also, how much wet food should I leave down at a time? I have been feeding them each a half-can in the morning, and a half-can when I get home from work, then another half-can each before bed. And I leave down about a cup of Taste of the Wild dry kibble. But, they seem starved when I get home... and they scarf the wet food down so fast.
It'll be interesting when they start mingling with the adult cats more. My oldest female needs to shed a few pounds so I've been watching her calories. But for now, the kittens are being fed in a separate room.
Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!
