As time progresses, kittens need richer nutrition. It may be appropriate to offer 6 to 10 ml of milk per meal every 3 hours.

How often do kittens eat a day?
In order to maintain the health of cats and not expose them to problems such as acidity and nausea, it is recommended that cats eat two meals a day, or a meal every 12 hours exactly. However, these two meals may not be enough to meet their daily nutritional needs.
Therefore, it is recommended to provide five meals a day to cats according to their age, where these meals are distributed evenly throughout the day. The distribution begins from the morning when they wake up until before bedtime, which ensures that their nutritional needs are met in a balanced and systematic manner.
Although the five meals may seem a lot, dividing them throughout the day helps improve food digestion and better absorption of nutrients, which enhances the health and well-being of the cat.
