We just brought home a 7 week old kitten. I cant seem to remember how many time we fed our two older cats when they were kittens ( now 4 years old). Is it like 4 times day up until 6 months and then 3 times up to a year? Also we wet his dry food a bit. He has a easier time eating it. When should we stop wetting his food.

Kittens should have food available all day long. Kittens usually eat several small meals a day. Their stomach is too small to contain all the food they need divided into just two or three portions. Keep feeding the kittens with kitten/growth cat food until they are one year old. At that stage, gradually change their diet into regular maintenance cat food.
Although many cats keep on growing after they are a year old, the accelerated growth of kitten-hood is usually complete and the cats can adjust to adult cat food and regular eating habits.
They are not just miniature cats. Kittens\\\’ growth and development need extra protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals to get the right start in life. The extra protein is needed for growth and development of strong muscles and supporting tissue; fat is essential for fatty acids, as a carrier for fat-soluble vitamins, and for the additional calories for energy. Minerals, of course, are needed for the development of strong teeth and bones.
While adult cat food will not \\\”hurt\\\” your kitten in the short term, it is selling him short on the extra nutrients he needs for active growth, which takes place throughout the first year of his life. Save the adult cat food for your big guys, and give your kitten what he needs: kitten food, for his first year.
