How many times a day a kitten 2 1/2 mth old is supposed to eat and drink?

Question

I'm wondering if it's normal because my kitten seems to drink her water like 5 or 6 times a day. She also finishes 1 full can mixed with a whole bunch of dry food in a day. We put both food and water out for her every time (that's how I know) because of our baby who would love to help kitty with that.

Answer 1

once every 2 hours

Answer 2

As often as they want because they are growing. Kittens are like babies and need a lot of calories. There should be no restrictions whatsoever. If your baby likes to help the kitten with it's food, you need to better supervise your baby, but the kitten should have complete unrestricted access to it's food and especially it's water. By the way, a 10 week old kitten is still considered an "infant". At 12 weeks old they become a toddler. Treat your kitty just as you do your crawling baby. :-)

Answer 3

How many times a day does your baby eat or drink? Your kitten is a baby much like your child and needs to eat and drink often. Find a way to keep your child out of the kitten's food and water.

Answer 4

Well you place food down on the floor, and let them go at it. If the kitten still craves food afterwards it usually means that they were food deprived at one time. Put if the kitten is a big eater no more than 2 cat trays full a day.

Answer 5

you should only give very young kittens a quarter of a can of wet food. If you are risky give 1 can but that causes obese cats.half a can is good for 5 month old cats.once they are cats they eat a whole can. My cat is like my baby and he is perfect in health.(I even brush he's teeth cause plaque builds up fast and they might need a filling which HURTS.My older cat has one she cant play with toys easily


Kittens can drink as much water as they want.

Answer 6

Food and water available at all times for the first year.

Answer 7

Doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Kitty is just grazing is all.
