Feeding Kittens

Hi,

So my kittens arrive on Saturday and we were told they were having 2 felix pouches a day (so 1 pouch each) plus dried food. We found they appeard to still be hungry so have given them 3 pouches a day (yesterday & today), which seems ok but here are my questions of a newbie kitten mum! Confused

Can kittens over eat?
Will they seem like they want food and actually just want some company?
How much should they be eating and is wet food better than dried food whilst they are young?
How long should wet food be left down for?

The kittens are about 9 weeks we think (from RSPCA and they couldn't tell for sure) but are only about 700grams.

Thanking you in advance

My cat ate like that as a kitten, he was on one pouch a day or a small tin when we got him but he was so hungry I though bugger this I'll feed him what he wants. Which was 3 pouches a day.

Now he has 3 pouches a day plus biscuits and still has a waist and no fat tummy.

Some cats over eat but I think it's like feeding a baby, if in doubt offer food.
