Hello. I found a 7 month old stray kitten in April 2021. Nobody claimed her and we couldn’t find her owner so we kept her. She surprised us by turning out to be pregnant. She had 4 kittens and they just turned one year old a couple months ago.
we opted to keep mama and all four kittens. we have been free feeding ( leaving dry kibble down all the time) plus giving them canned food once a day. Our vet told us to let them eat as much as they wanted to while they were under 12 months old.
now, all four kittens are chonky ( overweight) and are bigger than their mama.
how do I switch multiple cats from free feeding to twice daily feeding ( to encourage a little weight loss) but make sure they don’t lose too much weight?
attached is a pic of mama and two of the babies
thanks!
