How much to feed?


Well I finally got my two beautiful kitties, they are just lovely.

When I got them home they really stuffed their faces with the wet food, which surprised me.

How much should I be giving them, is it better to do little and often?

And pics will be on their way very very soon!!

Bet you're having a great time!
Yes, you're right, little and often is the way - they've only tiny tummies.
Can you manage 5 small meals a day? Nice if you can do it.

They are just so lovely, I'm so pleased to got them.

I should be able to do 5 meals a day as I'm now off work until the New Year.

But how much at each meal?

This morning I gave them half a sachet and they ate the lot straight away. They do have biscuits 24/7 but they haven't touched them much.

Congratulations on getting your new kittens!! I agree several smaller feeds is the way to go. I'd think half a pouch between two of them at this age sounds about right. If they are hungry, they can trickle feed on the dry you have left out for them.

Looking forward to the piccies
