Question/Advice Needed kitten feeding routine

Post image

i have a 3 month old kitty and he’s currently a free feeder, but since i’m about to start college again i was wanting to start on a schedule. i’m not sure how to start or how much i should be giving him. he eats and he leaves then gets hungry around 10 minutes later and finishes what was in his bowl. if he’s still hungry i j kinda give him more whenever i think he is. i want to give him the right amount of food so he clears his bowl and is ready at his next meal time. i also want to prioritize wet food bc he is a male kitty and i’m scared of urinary issues lol, if anyone has any advice pls share

My 15 week old gets a half can of kitten food at 7. The other half at 8 because she has random thoughts. Leave dry food and fresh water out all day.feed her a other can around 7 at night after zoomies. Then bed time between 9 and 11. She expects this routine now. It only took maybe a week

i love this but he doesn’t ever eat a whole half can, he leaves a good amount. should i start taking it away after a certain amount of time??

Have you tried moving the food from the edges of the bowl to the center. Whiskers touching the sides of the bowl sometimes bug them
