So... I just found out yesterday evening that my neighbor feeds his cat outside so my 2 kittens (14 1/2 weeks old) and momma cat (around 2 y/o) may be getting more food than given by my household.
I'm also worried my mom may have be forgetting to feed them in the mornings, which would explain why they would eat at the neighbors'. I'll ask my mother when I see her today afternoon.
I feed them at around 7-8 pm and they seem sooooo hungry, though baby boy has a nice round belly when I see him in the afternoon and is growing very robust. Baby girl is a slow eater which is why I feed her separately under my watch to make sure she eats her portion, so after that, she gets a little round belly and the next day in the afternoon when I see her she looks very thin, but not rib-thin. Momma cat has always eaten well and she looks normal.
Do cats eat more than they should or are my babies not being fed well enough?. My mom said she's been helping out in feeding them in the morning, but them being so hungry and my sister's report of seeing them eat at the neighbors' worries me, I don't have a lot of time in the morning so I really want to know if I need to sacrifice a little of the already little sleep I get and take over morning feedings.
Thank you
