how much should a kitten eat??? Little Otto wants to eat all day!!!! So I dont want to over fed him but he sit by the bowl and cries!! Any ideas?? I have both dry and wet. Polly knows when to stop but its seems little Otto is clueless and there is no off button.

He's a growing boy!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless, he is over weight...I would let him free feed as he wants. As he gets older he will slow down.

Wow, my kitten Scarlett hardly eats at all. Now I'm really concerned.

Mine ate like crazy (that is, after she got over her cold). Unless he's overweight or making himself sick, it's probably fine.

Scarlett has gotten better about sleeping, of course she plays very hard. I am concerned about her eating now. She eats breakfast, dinner and a bedtime snack of FF and Science Diet kitten combined. She also has Science Diet kitten hard food out all day and night. Do you think that is enough? She eats all her soft but very little from her hard food bowl.

Mine was like that..He grew to be a big boy. (22 lbs and not fat, just huge!)

BTW - when any animal eats like that always make sure to see if they have worms.

Had to de-worm mine. Slightly changed his hunger.

The higher quality food tends to make mine eat less than the cheaper stuff.
