Hello

[LandSharkElf]

Hi everyone,
I have a 4 month old Elf Sphynx who is currently eating smallbatch. It was recommended from the store to feed 4 Oz a day. Let's just say my feline is hungry. I started giving him 6oz and now he's eating 9oz! Is this to much? He is active when I'm home and I also have three dogs. I want him be happy and full but I feel it's not sticking with him long. This result in long nights. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

@LandSharkElf welcome to SL. The first year kittens need lots of food and many recommend to let them eat all they want. At one year of age schedule their routine wellness check and have your vet evaluate their weight. If they think your baby is overweight, ask what would be their suggested perfect weight and you can start to cut back on the food at that point.

Hoping you share pics with us of your baby!

Thank you for the advice! I am super stoked to join. He is definitely on track and growing. After a few days of multiple sliders he has finally gone back to 4 to 5.

Hungry baby! I generally will let a kitten eat their fill. They metabolize it like crazy because the are so active and growing.
