I have 2 cats, a 5 year old female cat and a 9-month old female kitten. I feed them each about 1/4 cup dry food in the morning and 1/4 cup dry at dinner time (each 1/2 cup/day). First, is this too little food? My older cat used to be overweight and is still a pretty good size (11 lbs.) so I decreased the amount I used to feed her to keep her weight down; I feed the kitten about the same.
Second, my kitten is a bully when it comes to food. She'll push the other cat out of the way, eat her food, and try to eat the dog's food as well (we feed him at the same time). Sometimes we'll find the kitten inside the food bin eating (we keep it in the pantry, sometimes she sneaks in). Any time we go in the kitchen, she meows for food. She's ALWAYS hungry. Is this normal or am I not feeding her enough?
The vet says they're fine in weight, but the both look bigger than normal cats.
