I just adopted a 12-week old kitten. I also have a resident adult cat. He's about 5. Since the adult eats adult light food (he's chubby) and the kitten eats kitten food, I'll eventually need to meal feed them to keep them from eating each other's food. The kitten wants the adult food and the adult wants the kitten food :-) For now, my husband has designed what I call a "food hut" It's a cardboard box with a little door cut out, so the kitten can get in and the big cat can't.
My question is, is it better to start meal feeding the kitten right away to get her used to it, or is she too young for meal feeding?
