Quantity of meal per serving

Hi,
I was wondering how much should I feed to my kitten which is now 10 weeks old? Due to my hectic job schedule I can only manage to feed it once a day as leave home 7am and return back 7 pm so I feed him as soon as I could. I feed home made recipies of chicken/mince beef , carrots, tomato, which i prepare on weekends. So what should be the size of each serving 1/4 pound or even less? Advice required.

It is my opinion that a 10 week old kitten needs more than two meals a day- this is where a premium dry food can be useful.

Be extremely cautious about home made diets. Cats have very specific nutritional needs and it will require a good deal of study to do this properly. Your listed ingredients are nowhere near sufficient. I'd truly recommend that you find a good quality canned food that meets your kittens nutritional needs and supplement it with a bit of dry left out during the day.

I agree that this kitten is not getting proper nutrition. Cats are very different than humans and need a specialized diet. I would feed wet morning and night with a good quality dry free feeding all day for the kitten. The food should also be kitten food specially formulated for growing babies.

I thought tomatoes were harmful to cats.

Green tomatoes and all parts of the tomato plant are toxic, but fully ripened tomatoes are fine in moderation.
