How to stop crying and food aggression

[Mimi527]

Advice about this guy is wanted. Little Leo (Leopold) is a piggy. He cries ALL the time for hours sometimes and he has started to start under the doors of the room we’re in. We can feed him more then enough and he will still cry for hours for more wet food. Obviously the dry food is out but he’s just not interested in that at all, and he’s started to become mildly food aggressive with his liter-mates and us when we try and stop him from stealing their food, to the point I now separate him. I’ve never had a kitten this hungry all the time and am looking for solutions.

Have you dewormed them yet?
I have to say marmalade cats are like that!

Awww... what a cutie pie. How old is he? And, yes, has he been dewormed? If not, that can cause excessive hunger.

With kittens, the general rule is to let them eat as much as they want, until they are around 1 year old. So if he's not fond of the dry food, maybe try another kind? Or just let him have more of the canned food.
