GOING CRAZY!!!!!!!

:? Hello all you cat and kitten lovers!!
We just brought home a 6 week old kitten, his name is Toby, and he is a real joy.
The problem I am having is a food thing. I also have a senior female, Puffy, who is spoiled rotten and on some days I open 6 cans of food to get her to eat. This was recommended by my vet who said it is important to get food in her as she is at least 15 years old. She plays with Toby and they get along fine.
I also have a two year old male, Skippie, who loves to eat. He and Toby are just starting to play some.
Anyway, I find it almost impossible to not have food out (dry) at all times, and have been feeding Puffy and Skippie canned food in the morning and evening.
Toby thinks he died and went to heaven. He was only eating small amounts of dry food at the petstore.
Well needless to say he has a real case of the runs. :(
I would appreciate any tips on how I can feed each cat enough without making it a major nightmare everyday.
Toby is going for his next round of shots tomorrow. He has been wormed, and right now he weighs 3lbs. He is extremely active, plays till he drops and seems very healthy. :twisted: Any suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks!!!!1

Unless you're using an "all stages" food, a kitten of that age should be getting exclusively kitten food. Good golly miss molly, he's barely weaned -- no wonder he's got the trots. :lol:

I can only suggest picking up the free feed and introduce mealtimes, or keep the kitten separate in his own room until he's older.

Hello, and welcome to the forum!! How about pics of your kitties? :D
