I am feeding my kitten IAMS Premium Kitten (Canned) Food and Simply Nourish Kitten Cat (Dry) Food. According to their labels, i should be feeding him 3 x 1/3 cup of dry food and 1.5-2.5 cans of wet food daily (because my kitten weighs around 2.6lbs). However, he does not eat that much. Probably, I don't know how to balance wet and dry food.
I give my kitten 1/2 can a day (divided into 3 feedings) and he wastes 1/4th of it. (I wash it after 20 minutes.) According to the labels, he should be having that much per feeding! But i can't get him to finish that much in 1 whole day!
I poured 3 x 1/3 cups of dry food 2 days ago and my kitten has not finished that yet either. (But i am going to replace it every 24 hours from now onwards)
Vet said he's completely normal. He's going to the litter normal; weighs normal; plays normal; everything seems to be normal physically. (His fecal test came out normal too.)
I got him from a shelter when he was 9 weeks old. He's currently 11 weeks old. What should i do to make him eat more?
(He seems to love the canned food. He goes crazy as soon as i bring it. I don't think changing to another brand would help.)
