Little LBK was done about two weeks ago, and for the last couple of days seems constantly hungry! (Tricked DP yesterday and had three pouches!) has constant supply of biscuits which he's finish in and is stealing packets and trying to claw/bite them open! Feed him good quality food, wainwrights. 1/2 pack in morn full pouch at night.
Not sure what to do with him, don't want him to do get fat!

How old is he?

Is he only having 2 meals a day?Our cat has 4, breakfast, at 8 00 am lunch at 1pm tea at 6pm and supper at 10 .30. Sometimes more. Biscuits always there all the time. He hasn't put on any weight in the last 5 weeks, and doesn't go out hardly at all.
I don't think you are feeding him enough. How old is he?

He's 6 months old.
I'm not here during the day so definitely can't feed him four times a day!
Here's a picture of him watching the tele :)

The drugs given after neutering can give cats the insatiable munchies for a day or 2.

Ensure his biscuits are topped up all the time. What brand of biscuits are you feeding him? High meat content, no cereals/grain content eg. Applaws and Orijen are the upper end of the scale, lowest end Go-Cat; terrible stuff, full of carbs, which don't leave the cat feeling full. being obligate carnivores.

At your boy's age, Little M was eating the same amount in weight as an adult Labrador would. He's going through his adolescence, so will be active and growing - just like a teen.

Are his worming/fleaing treatments up to date?

Wainrights biscuits too!
Yep, Definitely up to date with he advocate :)
Shall I give into his demands then?

He's still a kitten so I'd just feed when asked. Ours has 4 pouches a day but was an eating machine for ages.

At that age, I would. (Judiciously. Wink) He's a growing lad and you don't need him developing a 'thing' about nosh in his future.

Make sure you play with him as well of course. Smile

We play with him lots, he sleeps with us and we adore him generally he's carried round on DPs shoulder like a parrot!
