HELP asap...need advice

How do I know if we are over feeding 7 mth old kitty ? Also we give her some turkey lunch meat and tuna from time to time ...oh yeah and some baked chicken.....don't know if she gets hair balls, has asthma or over eating...she acts as though she's choking or coughing once she did throw up.

1)  USUALLY kittens up to 1 year can be free-fed (i.e. fed as much as they want).  Sometimes it is necessary or advisable to moderate before this but in most cases 7 months would still be an age (assuming the kitten is active, healthy, and not ballooning up) where free feeding is still acceptable if not advisable.

2) It is usually NOT advisable to feed kittens human food. Of the foods you mention, though, the one that seriously concerns me is the tuna.  Tuna is not healthy to feed cats except for in EXTREME moderation.  I would not feed mine any quantity of tuna at any kind.

3) When is this choking/coughing occurring? As she eats? If so it most likely means she is slurping up her food too fast. If this happens rarely/occasionally only when she eats, it is not likely a cause for concern.  However if it happens frequently it is a concern, and I would see a vet.  If it happens at times when she is not eating, I would also see a vet.

4)  Do you feed wet or dry?

Thanks for quick reply she gets wet and dry. Not sure if she has a hair ball asthma or reflux she has herpes and one kidney so I worry a lot but she goes to vet regularly she goes again March I'm gonna write all my questions down we love her so much we found her now we couldn't live without her

Now, see, that's funny (odd).  I would be more concerned about your feeding her the turkey lunch meat than the tuna   AND the baked chicken.  I worry about the nitrates in lunch meat, and the spices in the baked chicken. 

As to the overfeeding, if she's looking like a Football when you look at her from above, then you might be overfeeding her, but at 7 months, she IS probably still growing, so it's not likely that you are feeding her too much. 

I looked back at your other thread from 2 weeks ago where you were wondering if you were over or under feeding her, to which I responded with some questions and you never answered back.  But in that thread you said you feed her only twice a day during the week and she always seems HUNGRY.  I had asked WHAT and HOW MUCH you are feeding her.  Now I will ask, along with those two things, what makes you think you might be over feeding her.  With almost every thread you post, you say she seems hungry. 

What a cutie. She looks perfectly fine to me, however, you should probably think about feeding her 3x a day and with this she may feel more satisfied. Depending on what you are feeding, it may not be giving her what she needs in the way of nutrients. Typically dry food is denser than wet food, but not ideal for cats. They need to have meat in their diet, and calorie count is important. I would discuss with your vet, how many calories he/she feels your cat should get, and work with this to formulate a good plan for feeding. 

I would limit the amount of cold cuts and tuna for the reasons already stated. White breast turkey or chicken off the bone, is okay to give a cat as a treat now and then.

Our Thomas (Tuxedo) who was all of 4-5 months when he first came to us, was and is a very rambunctious, active little boy. He is now a year and half or so, and could eat all day and I doubt he would change in terms of weight. If your kitty is active, I wouldn't worry about how much you feed her. Young cats need to eat well as they are still developing.

She is adorable !  And doesn't look in the least bit overweight. 

I know just what you mean about being the light of your life.  My furkids are my ONLY kids.  I don't know what I'd do without them. 

The picture of your kitten is so cute! She looks really good.

I have 2 teenage kittens. Dory is 6 months, and George is 7 months.  I feed them three times per day, every day. First thing in the morning, late afternoon, and again before bed.  If I fed them less often, they'd be really, really unhappy and probably unhealthy, too. They are still growing like weeds and need lots of good food.

Dory is happily eating grain-free canned food only, between 7-10 ounces total per day. There have been a few days where she'll pack away as much as 12 ounces, but those are rare.

I'm still working on transitioning George to grain-free canned food only. He likes his kibble, but we're making great progress eliminating it. Currently, he eats anywhere between 3 to 6 ounces of wet total per day. After the last meal at bedtime, he gets grain-free kibble based on how much wet food he ate that day so he gets the nutrition he needs. On a good day, it's only 1/8 cup kibble at night. On days when he eats less wet, he gets 1/4 cup dry (total, not at every meal, just bed time). I pick it up immediately when he is done, because I don't want Dory eating even one piece of it!

I never feed them human food, and I never feed them fish...not even fish cat food.

One thing to note, is that if you are feeding canned (or raw) food only, that is low carbohydrate and grain-free, it is practically impossible to over-feed a kitten. With those types of food, give them as much as they want.  If you are feeding dry, or wet that has carbs, you should watch the quantity because those foods can cause too much weight gain, but they are still going to need an awful lot (compared to an adult cat).
