My 6 mo. old kitten was just spayed last Wednesday and has been having some trouble with over eating and then throwing up what she's eaten. I was worried initially that it was related to her spay, but as this has just now started, and she's throwing it up undigested, I'm almost certain that she's just overeating - as she is known to do.
I'd like to start giving her and her sister canned food mostly, with a bit of dry food as well, but I'm wondering how much should I actually be feeding the two of them? The older of the two is a large cat, and the kitten is going to be large, I think. They're both long haired if that makes any difference.
Also, feeding them separately isn't a problem for things that they'll eat quickly, but if it's something they're going to leave and come back to, they're prone to eating each other's food.
Thanks!
Edit: They're currently being fed Purina One Kitten and Purina One Hairball formula respectively. Although, since they like to play musical food bowls I sometimes mix a little of both together so that they're getting at least some of what they need.
Also the kitten just had runny poop. Could this be from a diet related issue, as well (The on-call vet last night said it likely was) or should I be worried? I used my entire paycheck on her spay last month so I don't really have the money to take her to the vet until Friday, at least, but if it's necessary that she go in immediately I can ask my mom for money. She hasn't thrown up again today, yet.
