Ive got a 14 week burmese kitten who came home just over a week ago and he is nuts for food.
I dont want to restrict any young, growing animal's food but he'll eat about 3 maybe 4 times his amount of recommended food. I cant even free feed to let him graze as its gone the moment i put it down.
Im feed him good quality wet food. (Animinda Canrney, Smilla, Applaws) and Ive starting mixing it with more dry food to slow him down.
He's been wormed every 2 weeks and he's due another in a couple days time. Should I stick to his recommended portioms or just allow him to eat until he stops(which he never does...)
Hes otherwise very happy and healthy, always wanting to play
Ive had a few puppies and dogs but even they wouldnt eat like he does!

Kittens are eating machines, some more than others. They need a lot of food to grow and will not get fat. Ignore the suggested portion size stated on the package. Many people feed both canned and dry food to kittens.
