Overfeeding but acts underfed??

[Chameleon924]

Ok guys, Lambie is 8 months old and about 5 pounds. I went to an online raw feeding calculator and figured out that she should be eating about 8-10% of her body weight. Because Sphynx cats eat more then regular kitties, I did the 10%. The came out to 80z a day of BitR. To make things easy, I feed her 3oz three times a day, for a total of 9oz. And she still acts hungry!!! She meows and when I follow her she runs strait to her bowl. What should I do?? Increase her food more? I was thinking of leaving Orijen kibble out for her to graze on, but I've read that you shouldn't mix the too together.

Luci does the same thing, she seems to be hungry 24 hours a day. She tries to eat the food out of our mouths. I feed her 1/4 cup 3 times a day, am I under feeding her? Plus she finishes Franks food at every meal

Mine still act like they are starving. But I know they are getting what they need, so I don't worry about it. Piglet is really good at telling us its dinnertime, he tries about a half an hour before its time, just to see if we will cave.

To slow mine down, I feed them still slightly frozen. They eat it, but have to work on it.
They just REALLY like their food. Mine do it with kibble too, so I know its just them.

I'm not so sure you can overfeed a Sphynx kitten! Mine acts like a super hungry little monster and wasn't growing to suit me so I did start leaving kibble out for her to graze on. Otherwise, she'd have me up at 3 am singing me the song of her people and shoving her nose into my nostril until I complied with feeding her!

Thats too funny! I totally agree, my dad says Lambie has an anaconda in her tummy that needs to be fed as well...

I didn't want to leave kibble out for her but she keeps waking me up earlier and earlier every day to be fed.
