Hi there. I am a new cat mommy to two 5-month old Ragdoll kittens. They are cute as a button and are super hungry all the time too! They seem to want to eat every 4 hours. Is this normal? I split a can of wet food at around 1.2 - 1.7 ounces (35-50 g) of food at each feeding. I also leave out dry which they will nibble on at night or during the day when I don't feed them every 4 hours. I'd prefer they don't eat much dry, though, as I will be a member of the "wet food only" club once they settle in (they have only been in my home for a week).
The girl has a tendency to LOVE wet food so will gobble up her portion and some of her brother's so quickly that she will often then vomit it back up 15 minutes later. So, I don't mind feeding smaller meals more often as long as I am at home, but this will not last forever.
I want to be sure they get fed enough, but I also do not want them to think that mommy has nothing to do all day but feed them, so that there is no real schedule.
Is there any advice out there?
Many thanks for your help!
