I don't know if I am underfeeding these kittens, or if they are just gluttons!

[Siwsan]

Any time I walk into the kitchen they race to their food bowls, trying their best to appear malnourished. Even if they've just eaten!

And when I eat? Sophie and Boudicca were really good about leaving people alone during meals. Gryff is also pretty well behaved but Madoc?? It's like being circled by a small, four legged, black and white, furry and very voracious shark who can JUMP. I sometimes feel like a seal in the open ocean.

They are lucky they are so incredibly cute. And affectionate. I just hope Madoc never figures out how to open the refrigerator.

1. They are growing boys.My outdoor kitty is eating his weight in groceries with the cold weathe

9. Mine, too. I call Mr. Cat, who lives on my porch, The Bottomless Kit.

He eats at least 3x as much as my indoor cat. After he consumed his fourth can of cat food the other day, I noticed as he waddled away that he was bulging out a bit at the sides. But he isn't fat. He's sleek and muscular, and he seems to be young - no more than maybe a year or 18 months, so I assume he needs all that food to keep growing and stay warm.

11. Yeah the outdoor kitties know how much they need

In the summer, Tiger my 11 year-old back porch cat, slims down a little bit and doesn’t eat nearly as much,so I’m always glad to see him putting on a little weight this time of year. The outdoor cats also grow longer hair. I hope yours stays as loyal and healthy as mine has. He’s very sweet and affectionate too. Just doesn’t like to be in the house with the door closed.He climbs up the pole to my second floor deck every day at suppertime. He has a little house out there, too. Keep up the good work

2. You might have to have a lock on the refrigerator soon! And the cabinets! You have two

very smart, very clever boys. It may take Madoc a very long time to get over being food nsecure.

3. Keep bowls of dry food out?

Just a thought.

And feed them just before rushing to the table with your meal, for a few sane bites.

4. I give them little snacks of kibble throughout the day

And an occasional 'cat treat' which they LOVE.

I'll be glad when they can transition to adult cat food. Kitten canned food is expensive, and sometimes hard to find!

5. Do you have dry kitten food?

They will hit their limit & learn to self-regulate.

Have you tried Chewy,com? I posted about Fancy Feast being difficult to find & several members encouraged me to try Chewy. I did & love the selection, prices, autoship options, bonuses, & discounts/rewards!

They are growing boys, after all. So "food emergencies" are likely the norm.

6. I got a really good deal on some 'Chicken Soup for the Soul' dry kitten food

So that's their new snack.

I keep meaning to check out Chewy. Maybe I'll do it, now!

[SheltieLover]

7. Love the name of the food!

Chewy always seems to have super specials going. If you don't find one, try WOOF at check out. 😉

8. That's a decent brand of cat food. Kittens are like teenagers; always hungry!

[ShazzieB]

12. Yes. Just like teenagers, they are growing really fast and need a lot of fuel!

10. Maybe it's time to start training them to do tricks for treats. ❤

Either way, they're adorable.
