8 week kitten feeding schedule

[gaslitstool]

Hi
How often would you feed an 8 week kitten? She is a rescue and who knows what she was behind fed before they think adult wet cat food only

I'm giving her two pouches of wet kitten food a day in 4 small meals and left out some kitty kibble and water - does that sound okay?

Also I went to get her some better quality food rather than the whiskas and go kat biscuits

Any brand recommendations for decent cat food? Happy to pay!

Definitely ditch the go cat - first ingredient is cereals and cats are carnivores.
Pets at home tends to have a wider selection of kitten grain free dry foods that would be better

If you introduce new foods do it gradually over at least 1 week

4 small meals a day is what we did at that age. (Although we feed on demand....so some days they were hungrier and some less so....) We gradually went down to 3 meals by 12 weeks (2 wet and 1 dry). Which is what they still have 16 weeks.

I left dry food out all the time (still do) and gave wet a few times a day

Thanks and if you use half a pouch then put the other half in the fridge do you warm it up for them before giving it to them?

You can do, we’ve always free fed kittens. Ours had a bowl empty miaow that could have woken the dead.

Just like human babies, offer food as a universal panacea.

I've never heated spare cat food
