I have three male kittens that are now ten months old. I've been feeding the boys quite a lot and when they were weighed at the vets yesterday for deworming meds they were 11, 9.4 & 9.1 pounds.

Is this too much for that age? Their dad (feral tom who hangs around outside is a pretty big fella, the mum is a tiny little thing). I thought that you fed kittens quite a lot for the first year then scaled back. I give them all a whole small can of quality wet food with biscuits spread into two feedings a day as well as a separate bowl of biscuits to crunch on.

Do you think I should reduce to one feeding a day and not have anything for snacking left out? Willie, the 11.4 fatty, will find it tough to diet!

Grinner, what did your vet say to you about their weight? My suggestion is, since your vet has examined them, please give him a call and ask him for his recommendations on what you should be feeding them, how many times a day, and how much of a portion for each. Most vets don't charge for phone calls. Especially when it is a follow up to a visit.
