greedy kitten help

Where did you get her from?

I only ask because our kitten was the same, his mother was feral and he'd picked up bad feeding habits from her.

He's now almost a year old and no longer tries to take food of our plates but we have to be careful not to leave any food out. He has eaten raw carrots, bread and tried garlic?

She came from a breeder of Turkish Vans. all house cats from what i can tell. and yeah my little one has gnawed through a block of cheese, fruit in the bowl..can't leave anything out anymore! x

I've got 2 greedy cats and they have only got worse as they have got older and are now 5 1/2. One of them, Harvey, is also a pretty stressed out cat and we have tried anti stress defusers, sprays, tablets everything possible and he remains stressed and greedy beyond belief. If we don't feed him by 8am and 5pm he literally pulls his fur out and cries constantly. He would love to be fed at 4am as well but gets put down the stairs instead.

My vet suggested worming them but it made no difference. They are both overweight and the stressy cat got called a 'double cat' at the vets last year ?. He should weigh around 4kg but instead was nearer to 8kg.

I think we are to blame for leaving out dry food for them all day when they were around 5 months old and we did this for a few years until Harvey got very ill and then needed a special food so they are probably used to eating too much and also when they want.

Can't offer any help other than to make sure the food gives them all the correct vitamins etc and that the quantity is correct.

Water sprays work wonders, and even better are these things
