Hi guys,
So I've got a 2 month old female kitten and a 6 month old male kitten and I'm having a bit of a problem with them. I used to free-feed the older male, but when we got the other kitten we found out that he was finishing his food and then stealing hers as well. He started gaining a bit of a belly so we put them on a scheduled diet.
Thing is, now they're both constantly crying for food, especially the older male. We give them the proper amount and simply split it into two servings a day, once in the morning and once at night before we go to bed (so they don't cry/scratch at the door in the morning for food at 5a.m
).
I've tried free-feeding them for the past couple days but instead of stopping when they're not hungry anymore, they gorge and eat everything! Then they still cry throughout the day for food even though they've had the proper amount.
Any ideas?
