Heyo again, here to ask about meals for my monster kittens, Korra and Mara.
Korra grew up malnourished and ate Kibbles n Bits before I got her, but I cannot for the life of me get her to eat just plain dry food so that her and Mara can share a small bowl overnight. She will only eat all the kibble in a bowl IF theres wet food in there as well, doesnt matter how different the ratio of dry:wet is. Rehydrated dry food doesnt appeal to her, she tries to rip into treat bags + dry food bags but wont actually eat what's inside, and still wont eat dry food even if she's been without food a little longer than usual. I've tried fish oil, Mara loves it, Korra doesnt care.
(But god forbid I have bread or potatoes lying around, she *will* brutally tear into their bags if given the chance.)
Mara was fed Purina Pro Plan before I got her, so I've kept her on it since (but she'll scarf down adult kibble if given the chance). She'll gladly eat dry or wet, or both in the same bowl. She's easy, she's smart and intelligent, and likes to eat dry + wet treats too. She also goes nuts for bread.
Which is why i have them on a meal schedule with mixed dry/wet for both kittens. Fed about 8 hours apart, 1/4 of a 3oz can of wet food in each bowl, topped by 1/8 cup to 1/4 cup of dry food. Is this enough for kittens that are 4 and 3 months old, who keep yelling at me for more?? Should i top their bowls with more dry food?? They drink water like crazy so I'm not concerned for their hydration at the moment but it never hurts to ask if they need more wet food.
