Live food?

[admin]

Brian, kittens should be able to eat as much as they want as they are growing and developing still...but you want to give them more food in the morning..is the 6 oz for both of them or 6 oz each? Do you feed them at night?

My kittens are 4 months old and they get fed in the morning and night and I leave dry food down for them to munch on if they get hungry.

I agree, give them as much as they want to eat...if they don't look chubby to you then likely they need the food to GROW

hi
sorry i made a mistake, they weigh 2.4kg, about 5lbs each, they share a 6oz in the morning and again early evening, with a 4oz can for lunch, they have biscuits when they want... i cannot believe how well behaved they are at night. i live in a converted warehouse, its about 500sqft, with 12ft high ceiling, open plan. i go to bed, turn of lights, cats go silent after 5mins, sleep all night....just purrfect.....
thank you for advice, i'm sure i'll have more to ask soon enough.
regards
brian

I walk my F1 on a 25 ft leash and he usually catches 2-5 moles each walk. I let him kill them but snatch them away before he eats them... Every once in awhile he will bite the head off...

My question is... Do you guys allow the wild side out and let them eat what they catch? I'm thinking about buying white mice from the pet store. The mice would be healthier than the moles...

Your thoughts??

Why do you let your cat kill 2-5 moles a week if he/she does not eat them? I could see letting them catch something to eat but to let them catch/kill them and not eat them doesn't make sense. Why not let the mole be?

I'm not sure that letting a cat eat something it has caught is "letting the wild side out"... when I grew up my black domestic shorthair used to hunt rabbits and bring them home and eat them, didn't make him more wild..he was still my very loving pet that slept with me every night. It's an instinctual behavior of any cat to catch prey and eat it...
