I just got a new kitten, he is 10 weeks old. I have another cat, she is a year and a half old. They keep trying to eat each others food.. how do I stop this? They are really good about sharing a litter box, and spend a lot of time playing together. But I cant seem to stop them from sharing all of their food. Im not with them 24/7, so how do I know if my little kitten is getting all of the nutrition he needs from his kitten food?

I had the same problem. My vet told me he would rather my adult cat be on kitten food than the kitten have adult food, so I gave them only kitten food until my kitten was around 6 months old. If you are free feeding them then I dont see how you will be able to keep them from eating each others food. I would switch to solely kitten food for now. My vets only concern was that the adult would gain weight. Your adult sounds pretty active though. Actually my oldest cat was on kitten food for about the first 2 years of his life because I got Ava when he was a little over a year and then Max when he was a year and a half. Most kitten foods recommend feeding it for the first year, but my vet said 6 months so thats what I did. I think its a good compromise. Good luck with your kitties :)

Hmm...Maybe you can put the adult cats food on something tall so that only she could get to it, and the kittens food in a box with a small hole that only he can fit through. :)

I actually have the same problem, with a 5 year old cat and a 21 year old that have vastly different dietary needs. What weve taken to doing is separating them during meal time, feeding one in another room and keeping them there until the cats are done eating.

There are many great brands of food that are nutritionally balanced for both kittens and adult cats. You would be able to keep them both on the same food the rest of their lives. Some of these brands include natural balance, instinct, prairie, taste of the wild, and wellness core. You can get natural balance at petco or petsupermarket and the rest at pet health food stores such as red bandana and some feed stores. I think the regular adult blue buffalo is also acceptable for kittens, and you can find that at petsmart. These food are also a lot better for them and your cats will produce much less waste and it will be nearly odorless. You will also need to feed them less food since their bodies use so much of it.

I dont know what Sissys smoking but its perfectly fine to let cats share litterboxes, however it is a good idea to have at least one box per cat so they can both go at the same time and so that the mess isnt so bad in either box. As for the food bowls, a couple options come to mind:1) Switch them both to a high-quality, nutritionally-optimal food like Innova EVO. These foods are appropriate for the nutritional needs of both kittens and adults so it wouldnt matter if they share.2) Implement a feeding schedule and separate them at meal times.

Put the kitten in a igloo to eat alone

I have 2 cats, one kitten and 4 different cat foods. A general cat food, a general kitten food, an expensive cat/kitten food and a hairball food. My eldest cat will only eat the hairball food, and my kitten will only eat what he eats. The other one doesnt care... Because of this Ive taken to mixing all of them! Hairball, general and expensive in one then kitten, expensive and general in the other.... A lot of work... But basically you can just mix it all in 2 different bowls, each with more of the type you want said cat to eat.

First of all, if you want them to respect the bowl, you have to train them to use their own stuff. You need to get 2 litter boxes and make them go in the correct one, do not share!! And keep their bowl of food and water in one area, and the other cats in another area far away from this one. I have one litter box in front of the bathroom and the other near the front door. The one near the front door has his bowls about 3 feet from the litter box. The other bowls are near the back door for the other cat. They do not share anything, they like to keep their distance.
