These pesky kittens I'm fostering :evillaugh: reckoned to be about 12 wks old, they've recently been wormed (Milbemax). Is it normal for kittens this age to act like they've never been fed every time I walk into the room? :Crazy: I can barely get the tin open without them velcro'ing themselves to my legs! they really are very unruly - I'm just not used to kittens LOL! .... :tired:
I'm feeding them 3 times a day, do you think thats enough or should I make it 4 times?
-
Would do the meals into 4 meals but they will more than likely velvrose themselves to your legs still and this is normal kitten behaviour and is what I nickname "Kitten Determination" :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
They should be on 4 meals, but I would say this is normal, especially as you dont know their background, they might not be used to as much food.
-
I have no experience but would imagine that with small but growing animals, little & often is the way to go. I googled and one site said 4 to 5 meals a day for 3-6 months.

Gillian having 2 unruly delinquents here in Charlie and Echo I leave kitten dry down as a free feed and they get wet 4 times a day and steal adult food whenever they think they are still hungry :rofl:

Why is it they think adult food is so much better than theirs :rofl:
I'm doing the same as Liz, kitten dry down all the time and 4 wet food meals a day plus whatever adult she can pinch when Hobbes isn't looking :rofl:

Sorry Gillian but :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Ok I will fit in another mealtime at lunchtime and see how that goes - my legs will be torn to shreds otherwise :shocked:
you know you will miss them when they've gone ;)
I don't know about that - as soon as I've got a pen free they're outta here LOL! which unfortunately isnt likely to be anytime soon....... :tired: the little dears.... ;)

You could wrap some cardboard around your legs and they'll have their very own scratching posts :evillaugh: :hug:
