How much food does a kitten need to eat per day?

Question

A few hours ago a little kitten appeared on my yard and he is very playful and people friendly. He does have a collar but nothing else on it. I gave him some bologna and I put him in a kennel with some food and water. I will try to look for owners tomorrow. How much should I be feeding him?

Answer 1

Well cats aren't like dogs.  You don't feed them a certain amount then stop.  for my cat we just put food and water into a bowl and when she runs out we put more in.  That way she eats when she gets hungry and she always has food.  I would just put a full bowl outside of water and food.

Answer 2

Cats eat though out the day so you really wont over feed them. On some bags of cat food it does tell you how much to feed them. Its probably around 1/4 cup got a cat under 3 lbs.
