How much food should you give a kitten?

Answer 1

I've raised a lot of kittens, probably about 30 litters, and i always fed the mother cat canned food so when the kittens got old enough to be weaned I would hold them and rub a little of the gravyish stuff around their mouths so they would lick it off. Some of them took to it right off and a few others were a little slower so just be patient and after a while (maybe about 2-3 weeks after they begin eatting canned food) put out a little plate of dry food and cut back on the canned food. It might take them a while but if they get hungry enough they will eat it. As far as how much goes, I always put out a can for the mother cat and one for the kittens (usually she had a litter of about 4). What the kittens didn't finish, the mother cat would, which is why I found it better to start that a little before the mother cat weaned them herself. That way if she did take the food from the kittens they would still get food from her. But if the kittens are already weaned I would suggest separating the mother cat and kittens at feeding time once they get used to the canned food to make sure they get their share. Just make sure you watch the mother's behavior closely because if she thinks you are trying to separate her from the kittens she may attempt to move them.

Answer 2

You should feed a kitten 2 times a day. Morning and night, just like a human, wake up hungry eat and then eat and go to bed full.

I feed my kittens wet food. One eats about 1 for 2 weeks. All together they eat about 2 cans a week.

There is no correct answer for this, but generally speaking, a kitten should eat as much as it likes. How much a kitten eats can depend on several factors: The kitten's age, size, activity level, appetite and the quality of food being fed. A cat's food is also a huge factor in how much it eats: A cat will eat far more if fed a lower quality food to get the nutrition it needs, and will eat much less if fed a premium quality food that has a high meat content and no grains. 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. Kittens often need much more food than an adult cat as they are still growing and developing. It is advised to feed as much as it wants until it reaches a year old. Be sure to feed small but frequent meals, especially for younger kittens as they have small stomachs.
