I'd start sooner than later switching them. I've been switching mine from kitten food to weight management food the past few weeks... let me tell you, I have FOUR very unhappy kitties! They go from yummy fatty kitten food to bland tasteless weight management. All because Uncle Allen couldn't keep his paws off the kitten food.

Hubby feeds my guys at 5:30 every morning. He has no choice - they are insistant. I feed them again when I get up three hours later when I roll out of bed (I am NOT a morning person either) and then I toss more food in the dishes as the day progresses. They get one last feeding as I let Nicki out for one last potty break before bed, about 10:30. They get little amounts all day long. Jen Luckenbach watched me dish out food once and she almost fell over with how little I put out. I said "If I put out more it'd be gone in 2 seconds, then they'd be screaming for more food in another hour, because the kittens only eat a little bit and then the big guys move in and pig out." Hence Allen's current extra plush state --- LOL

Anyway, the kittens are VERY upset that I've been trying to alter their feeding schedule. I used to add more food every few hours, and every few days I reduce the number of times I toss food into their dishes. I'm now down to about 4 times a day where I add food. Harry is insisting that he's dying but I don't believe it. Not for one second.

Someday I'll get back down to twice a day (when hubby feeds them and bedtime, with snacktime around hooman dinnertime)
