With all the blended(dog & cat) BPO families, I thought who better to turn to for my daughter. She recently adopted two 6-month old kittens. They each get 1/2 cup dry kitten food per day. They are displaying their intelligence by managing to get into every container they store the food in.
Her question is how much food should they be getting? Are they starving or just little pigs? Her vet tells her to get them self-feeding soon. I know most vets do not recommend this for dogs but perhaps different for cats?
The issue with the self feeding is one cat will eat as long as there is food the other is more shy. She is afraid the one will eat too much and the other won't get any.
Like most good mommies she is worried they are hungry all the time, hence the determination to get into the food.
Suggestions??
