I have Junior (8 mo tabby). Right now, I'm feeding him Nutro Max Cat Gourmet Classics Kitten dry food but will be switching to Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Indoor Kitten when this bag is gone (I got both bags free when I adopted Junior from the shelter).
Each morning I give him 2 handfuls (about 1.5 cups) of dry food which is left out for 24 hours for free feeding and every evening when I get home from work I give him a 3 oz pouch of Wellness Healthy Indulgence (various flavors). He finishes the wet food in under an hour and each morning there's always just a little bit of the dry food left. However, whenever I go near the kitchen or sit down to eat, Junior starts meowing like crazy and I have to repeatedly shoo him off the counter and away from my food.
How do I tell whether Junior is just being curious about what I'm eating or if he is truly hungry? My vet says I'm feeding him enough since the dry food isn't completely gone each morning, but I'm still curious.
Also, I've read that Nutro and Wellness are both really good brands but does anyone have any other suggestions on what to feed him?

edit: I just measured 2 handfuls of dry food and it is actually just under 1 cup so my guess of 1.5 cups was not very accurate.
