Feeding instructions

[creiswitz]

So I have two adult cats and two new kittens and I am just confused on how much to feed them.

I have been doing a can and a half per day for all four of them, obviously the kittens have different food, and then I leave dry food out all day for them to eat. I go through a lot of dry food so I'm feeling like I need to cut back to one candidate per cat. My one cat is starting to become overweight he's always been on the line.

I don't want to under feed anybody! I also don't want anybody to become unhealthy. Both the kittens are very obviously putting on weight.

Hi!
I'm assuming you're feeding the kittens their multiple-times-a-day canned meals separately, and then picking up the plates, but would there be any way that you can have kibble that's for the kittens in a location that the adult cats can't get to? I don't know if you'd want to do this but some people who have similar issues take a big polyurethane box, install a cat flap that can be set to open for specific cats (Are the kittens microchipped yet?) and put the kibble in that.

Like this;

Thanks for the reply! So I also give the cats their own dry food. So each cat is getting 1.5 can wet food a day and able to munch on the dry food throughout the day. And yes, I pick up the wet food (which they normally all finish) after about 30 minutes!

Hi! I was looking for an example of that feeding station that I linked in my post above, while you posted
