I have a question about my kitten's eating habit. She's 18 month old and I feed 20% dry and 80% wet. She's at 6lbs now and a DSH. I know that kitten should be allow to eat as much as they want and my kitty is no exception. I only free fed her a quarter cup of dry a day. I have four scheduled meal times, 9am, 2pm, 7pm and 11pm. Each meal consists of 3oz of canned food. She finish her food at every meal time and takes maybe half an hour to 45 minutes to eat them all and takes breaks in between.
If you think about it, she eats about 12oz of wet food and 2oz of dry food a day. In addition she also eats a spoonful of Milky Flakes treat and one Defurr-UM treat a day. Plus when I am in a training session with her, she gets other treats as well.
She has a very active indoor lifestyle. She runs, jumps, chases after toys, and climbs her cat tree. Overall, she is in excellent health and has a bubbly personality.
Is the amount of food I've been feeding her adequate, too much or too little?
