I have a kitten that just turned 4 months old on December 2nd, and up until this point I've pretty much just been feeding him as much as he wants to eat each mealtime. I know that once he gets older, I'm going to need to start actually measuring out his meals, but I'm not quite sure how much he needs. I feed a combination of Weruva's Cats in the Kitchen canned foods, and Orijen Cat and Kitten dry food to supplement as my work schedule prevents me from giving him canned food alone. I know that Orijen recommends a 1/4 cup per kg of body weight until the cat is 1 year old, and then has a feeding chart to follow, and Weruva recommends 1oz per pound of body weight if fed alone. But if I'm combing them, I have no idea how much to feed! I don't want to overfeed my cat and risk his health. I mainly feed him the canned food, the Orijen is just a handful or less to hold him over while I'm at work or overnight. Also, I've heard mixed opinions about switching up his wet food? Some people say it could irritate his stomach, others say that rotating his food regularly allows for variety and more nutritional benefits, but I'm not sure which is true. I know he loves the Weruva, he can't stop purring and winding around my legs at mealtimes! But I'm Wollongong to rotate other foods if that's better for him. I'm also including a picture of Orijen's feeding chart, if that helps.
