Hi,
I have had my Ziggy kitten for about 5 weeks and he is now 7 mos old. This kitten has a huge appetite--like none I've ever seen. Currently he eats about 1 cup daily of Chicken Soup dry, divided in 2 feedings. He weighs about 8.3 pounds and clearly he's not finished growing yet.
Ziggy seems ravenous ALL THE TIME. He cleans up his food and then checks our other two cats' bowls and cleans up their leftovers as well. Do you think this is indicative of a need for more food each meal or one more feeding daily or is he just a "pig?" I've known my kitten since he was born (his breeder is my neighbor and I cat sit for them) and even as a tiny kitten with free choice food available, he'd charge his way to the scheduled wet food and eat like no tomorrow. His sister hasn't had this issue, but she also eats a lot of "fresh game" such as butterflies, beetles, grasshoppers all through the day. LOL
Opinions are welcomed!
