Mia, Misha and the belly

Misha has been eating SO much lately. I had noticed that she was eating
more
before I put her on kitten food, which is normal with the pregnancy...
But
now that I feed her away from the other ones, I notice it even more. She
is
asking for food very often. I'm wondering if it's ok? Should I give her
food
each time she asks for it? or is this just because she likes it so much?
She,s always been a good eater, but now I'm afraid to give her too much.
I
was thinking I could give her the kitten food 3 times a day, and if she
is
more hungry, the "adult" food is always available at "the normal cat food
place". What should I do? I know she needs to eat smaller portions, more
often in the day, because of the pregnancy and the belly taking so much
space ...

I have no experience with pregnant cats, but on the very narrow chance
that no-one with experience with pregnant cats weighs in (ha ha), I will
offer my opinion that whatever she wants she should have at this point. I
do know that kittens should be fed as much as they want, so I'm
extrapolating back before they become separate units from their mom and
expect that they should be allowed as much as they want while they're
still in utero, mom's working harder than normal on top of that.

Now the experts can weigh in. :-)
