My kitten is getting fat. How much and when should I feed him daily?

Great question! You have two options with feeding Uli. There will be a daily allotment of food to be fed on her food bag, and you can either leave the food out all day for her to eat whenever she wants, or you can divide it up into two equal portions. Give one of the portions in the morning and one at night. At her age, she should still be on a kitten formulated food. Once she is 12 months of age, you can switch her to an adult food. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Hello, thank you for using Pet Coach! Between four and six months of age, your kitten’s daily requirement for energy is about 100 to 130 kcals per kilogram of body weight. The best recommendation is to feed Oliver based on the recommendations on the label of the food you are feeding. Hope this helps. Best wishes!

Since Oliver is so small, then yes you can feed him a small handful three times a day. Cats enjoy nibbling throughout the day anyways so a good way to feed them if to pre-measure their total amount of food for the day and give them just a portion of it several times a day. This way they aren’t over eating but they feel like they are getting fed multiple times a day. I hope This helps!

Hello, depending on her lifestyle, indoor only cats should be fed atleast twice daily. This can be a variety of dry and wet food and should not exceed more than 1 cup of dry food per day or more than 1 can per day. There may be differences depending on how many calories each food contains so it is hard to determine this. Your kitten should be consuming around 201 Kcal per day. Hope this helps and best of luck.

You can free feed. By that, I mean leave her kitten food out all day, and she can nibble when she likes. Her kitten food will have the feeding instructions on the bag, so give her the daily recommended allotment. I hope this helps!

I can understand your dilemma here. You can try offering her 1/4 cup 3 times a day and see if his curbs her hunger. The food recommendations on the bag are more like guidelines. I would also recommend weaning her off the milk over the next week, because she is old enough where she doesn’t need it after 6 weeks of age. I hope this helps and best wishes caring for your pet Minerva. You certainly picked an excellent quality food to give her a great start! Take care.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! He should be eating about 275 - 300 calories per day to continue to grow at a healthy weight. It is not based on the volume of food but more so based on the amount of calories in the food you feed him. This information should be in the back of the bag or can you feed him or possibly online. Good luck and have a great day!
