opinions on my kitten's daily diet

Hi.I have ragdoll kitten. He is four months old.
Here is what i feed him on daily basis:

Since he doesnt eat much I feed him 4 times a day.
In the morning around 6am I give him 35g of Ziwipeak vension (or lamb) canned food. After 2.5hours I give him 28g of barf balanced raw food (rabbit or turkey or kangaroo). At 12pm another 28g of raw food. At 6pm I gived him 35g of ziwipeak canned food. At spare times I feed him around 20g of air dried ziwipeak food.

I want to know whether it is okay to feed him raw and canned food together.I heard that it is bad to feed processed food (dry or canned) when the cat is on raw diet. But I want to give him nutrients from various sourses. And I heard alot of good things about ziwipeak and since it has low carbohydrate I decided to feed him with raw food.

If anything wrong with his diet please tell me how to improve it.

Thank you so much for reading. And sorry for my poor english

Since your canned food is very high protein/low carb, there shouldn't be much difference in digestion times, so I don't see an issue with feeding both. In fact your diet and feeding schedule seem great. At that age, he should eat as much as he wants in small meals. Oh, and your English is great!

You have a lucky kitten to be fed so well, numnums! We feed our cats raw and canned food, too, and they've been doing great with it for five or six months. (We got them in December as ten-month-old kittens.) I think it's mostly dry "kibble" foods that people have concerns about feeding with raw food -- and I suspect ZiwiPeak air-dried food would fall into an entirely different category since it's mostly meat and mussels, without carbohydrate fillers. We got a sample once and it seemed more like jerky than cat food!

I agree that your English is very good! :-)

You should be fine. There are issues with combining DRY food with raw, but I have not heard the same of wet. The problem with dry is that it slows down digestion, so the raw food will remain in the digestive tract longer, increasing the chance of bacterial growth.

You feed excellent foods, my only concern would be the 12 hours between dinner and breakfast, if I read that correctly. I put a small amount of dry down before i go to be for my 5 month old kitten and he does eat it. I think that's a long time without food for a young kitten. I feed only wet during the day.

My kitten is a ragdoll too! . At four months he was eating almost 9 oz of wet and 1/8 cup of dry every day. I'm not sure how that converts to grams....but it's a LOT of food! He's almost 6 months now, and he's tapered down to about 7 oz of wet a day and 1 tablespoon of dry at night.
