Hey guys,

So I have two very active, and very loving boys. Corvo is around 6 months old and weighs in about 6 pounds, and Ares turned 7 months yesterday and weighs about 8.5 (he's a big boy, vet says he's not fat though lol.) I normally end up feeding them 3 times a day, 3 ounces each meal, as they ALWAYS seem hungry! Once around 8am, then 5pm, 10pm. Am I over feeding them? Is getting 9 ounces a day too much food?

I'm feeding an all wet diet, alternating between Hound and Gatos, By Nature, and Daves Cat food (that last one is so I don't go broke lol. Wish I could feed only Hound and Gatos, but I can't afford it.)

Thanks in advance guys!!

If they are eating all of what you are giving them, it is not too much. A kitten needs almost twice the amount of Calories that a fully mature cat does.

Your kitten looks to be a healthy weight and body shape.

  And, BTW, Dave's is a very good food, IMHO. 

Ares is such a handsome boy
.  Where's Corvo?
