Kitten and older cats

[myrtleWilson]

Hello!
We have had three Siberians for many years. Last year sadly our first Siberian died. Today we brought home a new Siberian kitten. The first few hours have gone really well (much better than when we introduced newcomers previously) But because it has been about 8 years since we had a kitten I've forgotten some stuff...

What do you do about food? Should we feed the kitten separately but that may not be practical as a long term plan, should we move all the cats onto kitten food so they can eat together, are there issues with the kitten eating adult dried food?

For the life of me I cannot remember how we did this the previous two times we introduced a kitten to existing cats - have I erased the memory for a reason?!?!

Kittens can eat adult food, it has less fat so they may have to eat more of it! I fed my kitten with the adult cat - adult scarfed her food and kitten ate his food. All good. Pic please!!

We have a kitten and one older cat and we feed them in separate rooms. We have found them eating each others food and I take it from them. Older cat eats wet/dry food mix but kitten is on dry food only so I don't want him getting used to wet food. I did read that cats shouldn't regularly eat kitten food as it'll fatten them.

Thank you both - apologies for the delay in replying. As it turns out we've had a week of vets appointments and surgeries for the other two cats so feeding logistics has now transformed into medication logistics! But many thanks anyway.
