Divide the amount shown into 2 - 3 feedings daily.

Amount of food consumed will vary based on activity level, age, breed and environment. Standard 8 oz (250 cc) measuring cup holds approximately 4.0 oz (114 gram) of NutriSource Cat & Kitten Chicken Meal, Salmon & Liver Recipe. At 2 - 3M and again at about 6M, your kitten will naturally reduce the amount consumed. This is due to a natural reduction in growth rate and the reduced need for calories. Consult your veterinarian if you believe your cat is too thin or overweight. Remember it is important to have clean, fresh water available for your Kitten/Cat at all times.
