Long story short, we ended up with a 7 week old kitten here at our office. Vet says he is healthy and to feed him dry kitten food and water.
I had a cat in college many years ago and we always left a big bowl of dry food out for him to nibble on all day.
My question is whether it is appropriate to do that for the kitten as well?
For the last week, we have left a bowl of dry Eukanuba kitten food out for him in his play area of the office as well as a bowl of fresh water. He comes and goes at will eating as much as he wants. Occasionally, we give him a small soft kitty treat which he likes.
My concern is that he's getting a touch plump already!
Then I read the bag on the kitten food and it recommends providing only 1/4 cup of kibble every day. Wow. That doesn't seem like enough.
He passes about 2-3 normal stools per day right into his litter box which we promptly remove.
Recommendations?
