Hey folks,
It's been a while since my last post...school started back and teaching leaves no time for "fun"...
That said, my two kittens (frazier and niles) are now large enough to get the run of the house 24/7 (yay!). However, this has created an unforeseen problem... When they were confined to one room, I left their nutro kitten chow out all day and fed them wet once a day.
My other cat, toby, is on nutro weight maintinence and we've been putting a standard measure of food in his bowl and leaving it out for him.
So, should I leave out the kitten food all day (and watch toby go from over weight to obese)? Should I leave out the weight management food (and see my kittens not gain weight)? Should I get some general "adult" or "all lifestages" food to leave out? Or, should I just feed them seperately at specific times?
I hate to not free-feed the kittens, but I don't want to compromise anyone's health and I can't see any way around it. At the moment, I'm leaving out some artemis food (that I had been mixing in with everyone's food), which is an all age groups food... But that won't last long because I'm using some free samples I got of it and a couple of 1lb sample bags I bought online.
Thanks for your help, as always!
