is a cupfull (not mugfull) too much for him?  would the fact that he's on kitten food make any difference?  he's almost 8 months

Gwen  may I suggest that you try feeding recommended amount stated on packet minus a little to compensate for the wet food, then see how many times he goes. Once maybe twice a day is enough. I am assuming motions are normal ?
Kitten versus adult food query raised- he is old enough for adult but still young enough to enjoy kitten so down to purr sonal taste :)

How big is your cup?
I would start mixing adult and kitten sometime in the next couple of months, to wean him over gradually.
