Persia seems to be having another growth spurt. Kittens are a year now and two months. Katrina has been stable at 8 lbs and Persia seemed to be stable at 9 lbs, but just gained a few ounces this week and looks leaner like she does during her growth spurts. She's always sea sawed between looking fuller where I wonder if she needs a diet and during a growth spurt noticeable leaner. Katrina on the other hand has constantly stayed lean looking, and has always gained weight more slowly.
They've started eating adult dry food since their kitten food was finished, and boy do they seem to eat a lot more dry! Makes sense if the kitten food was more calories. And boy do they get excited for their dry. Even if they haven't finished all their wet food, if I go in the bed room for another reason Persia trots swiftly after me thinking I'm going to give dry food and meows excitedly.
I do still base the amount of dry on how long it takes them to finish their wet. 1 scoop once wet is gone, or if they finish wet food really early, like a couple times this week, they may get 2 or more scoops. They get fed at 7 and 7, so I don't feed after 12 and 12 to make sure they eat their wet food first during their next meals. So still kinda free feeding dry since neither is showing unhealthy weight gain.
Isabelle on the other hand is heavier and working to slowly get back down to 10.
