9 months old, neutrered and they empty they're bowls at least 3 times a
day, normal?? plus they poop a lot, I scoop twice a day

at 9 months they're not really kittens but not yet adults so how much
do ya feed them at this age? these thr are youngest cats (got them at
8 months) that I've ever had

also feliway seems to be helping some, still full of it as should be
but not as wild

I have to imagine that depends on what you're feeding and how much you are
feeding.

>plus they poop a lot, I scoop twice a day

My cat poops once a day and pees twice. I scoop once a day.

How much do they weigh? At the age of 9 months, my cat was considered to be
heavy, so I was advised to change my way of feeding.

In general, young cats and kittens eat a lot. They are growing and need the
extra nutrition.

At 9 months they're still growing kittens so eating a lot is normal.

A really good quality food is usualy more digestible than cheap foods so
there will be less waste product ( smaller poops ) and less stinky poops.
(not that it ever smells good).

Science Diet and Iams are both good quality foods.

they eat Dad's ( I've had 2 vets tell me Dad' is one the best cat
foods there is) & Purina for indoor cats, and just added Wiska's, they
get no treats except ones for haiballs...Moe will play will anything,
has foundness for the lids and rings arounds milk, Rudy just watches
us play and won't join in.....I've even tried putting Moe in spare
bdrm, then try to get Rudy to play doesn't make any difference

Moe weighs 12 lbs
Rudy weighs 15 lbs

we play with them, get them to ram around and they have lots ot toys
they're just big cats, they're tall and very long

and yes SPCA warned me abt urnine crystals, said is year to change to
Dad's for that type of Diet

I think Dad's is regional in the northeast
