Between the ages of six months and one year, twice daily feeding is generally best. Once the cat becomes an adult, at about one year of age, feeding once or twice a day is appropriate in most cases. Senior cats (10 years of age and older) should maintain the same feeding regimen unless owners are otherwise instructed by a veterinarian.

A good cat feeding schedule should take into account your cat’s age, weight, activity level, and any specific dietary needs they may have. Most experts recommend feeding adult cats twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Kittens, on the other hand, may need to be fed more frequently, usually three to four times a day.

You should feed kittens younger than six months of age four or five times a day, while kittens older than six months of age require about three feedings per day for the healthiest growth rate. Adult cats can eat less frequently Once kittens reach one year of age, you can switch their feedings to once or twice a day.

Age Matters Kitties six months and under need to be fed several times a day. This changes once they get older, up to a year old, in which case they could be fed twice a day. After, they can be fed once or twice a day like adult cats.
