I'll be picking up an 8 week old kitten in a couple of weeks time and have a few questions on feeding. I plan on gradually switching the kitten to James Wellbeloved kitten wet and dry food. I don't like the idea of free feeding and leaving food out all day but there are going to be a couple of days a week when both my boyfriend and I are at work for 8 hours. Would that be too long to leave the kitten without food? Obviously I plan on feeding in the morning, when I get home from work/in the afternoon and again before bed. Also, I work different shifts, sometimes I finish at 6pm, sometimes 7pm and sometimes even 8.30pm. My boyfriend also finishes at different times.
What is the easiest way to work out a feeding schedule for the new kitten? I don't want it to be expecting food at a certain time and have to wait for hours before I can get to feed her. I am considering feeding wet food in the morning, leaving dry food out during the day, feeding wet food again in the afternoon and wet food again before bed. Is it best to feed as much as the kitten can eat in one meal or to stick to measured amounts?
Apologies for the mass of text and questions! This is my first kitten so I want to do the best impossibly can xD
