We have two young cats (1 year old) neutered male and neutered female. Since being neutered at 6 months they've been on a brand of kitten biscuits recommended by the vet. We were giving them the portion recommended for their weight. They were happy with this.
A week ago we moved over to the adult cat version. The portion is smaller (different composition + not growing so fast I guess) and they eat the half days days ration in less than 6 hours and seem constantly hungry for the remaining 6 hours.
They have started mewing for food whereas before they would just hover near us when feed time was nearing.
They were trained to not go on kitchen surfaces, now we have to keep the door shut otherwise they try to get up looking for food.
Today I gave 25% more than the recommended amount. They have eaten it, are asking for more yet they shouldn't be fed for another 3 hours.
Is this normal as they adapt to their new food?
