It really depends on the age of the kitten. If the kitten is eight weeks it should probably eat about three wet meals unless it is fully weaned. At that point about four small meals of dryfood is okay but wet food is much better for health anyway. If the kitten is about six weeks it is at the weaning period and may require five meals of wet food. If the kitten is three weeks then it will probably be drinking about three to five meals of milk a day. if it is one week or younger it will drink about one meal of milk every two hours give or take.

∙ 8y agoIt depends on their age. Newborns suckle every 2 hours. They take in 2 to 3 ounces in one day. As they get onto mashed and wet food, it equals about 1/4 can per day per kitten. By 6-8 weeks, they eat well. They consume 8 ounces of food per day, about 1/2 of a small can.

Kittens on growth spurts also tend to eat much more also. Kittens can eat as little as 100g or 200g of canned/pouched food and as much as 400g or 500g in a day.
