Scrabble is 18 weeks old and I am feeding him the following:

AM - half a sachet of Felix kitten
PM - "
Eve - "

He also always has Whiskas kitten biscuits available and obviously water..

.. is this the correct amount for him? I only ask because he wolfs it down, never ever leaves any and then still races to the kitchen every time I go that way!!

Yes, that sounds ok to me..... kittens have very small tummies and need small feeds throughout the day.....

Sounds fine to me too.
Too little and you'll notice he's thin; too much and he's liable to have tummy problems. Generally they survive despite our best efforts! We worry too much

Yes we certainly do worry too much don't we! Thanks everyone!

Thing is that my 8 year old cat Thomas is massively overweight because I always think he's hungry when he races to the kitchen.. turns out he's just greedy, hence the fatness :roll:
