The can food I'm feeding my kitten, Nyx, says she should eat at least 2 5.5oz cans a day. Most of the time I can barely get 3/4 a can down her. She eats Evo turkey and chicken cat/kitten. I've tried other things but to no use. Shes happy, playful, drinking and using the litter box... should I be worried? Should I put her on a kitten only food so she can get some extra calories or just leave her be unless I notice any weight loss. She did just come home a little over a week ago.

Yeah, kittens should be eating more than that. . .but some cats don't read the manual :tongue2:. If her body condition and activity level are good, then she's eating the right amount for her. She may be in a slow growth period or not completely settled in yet. If she does lose weight or seem lethargic, call the vet right away. But for now I don't think there's anything to worry about :).
