How much should a 7 week kitten be eating?

[AvaGoOnTheSwingometer]

How much should a 7 week old kitten be eating and spread across how many meals? Mine are eating about 1/4 pouch/tray each meal and 4-5 times a day.

MN ate my second post - they are taking at least one feed a day from Mum, possibly more in the night but of course am not there to see it.

Bumping

mine were till just taking milk from their mother at that age and would not look at cat food at all and the food they did eat first was tuna so i would say thats quite a lot for a kitten that age. Has he/she been wormed yet?

Yes they've all been wormed every 2 weeks, and the mum too.

I did read that a kitten/cat self regulates food and they'll leave what they don't want. Some meals they leave some, although morning and last thing at night they wolf it down. And of course some have bigger appetites than the others.

I was about to say the same thing about self-regulation. Our current foster kits are 6.5 weeks old and started tucking into their mother's food about a fortnight ago. (She is very very young and has four of them, so perhaps hasn't quite got the milk to sustain them all exclusively).

I reckon they get about 1/2 a pouch of wet kitten food each, per day, though they tend to eat the jelly first and leave the meat until later. I also leave a bowl of kitten biscuits out while I'm at work and they make some impression on that, though it's hard to say how much as their mother tucks into them too.

Thank you Attenborough, I assume you must know lots about animals ;)
