From: "Wendy"

Since Boot's siblings have left he has decided
he doesn't want to eat the kitten food. He wants to eat the same food as the
adult cats. How long should he be on kitten food? I hesitate to ask as I
gather there is a debate over dry and wet food but should he be on more
"wet" food because he is a male? He doesn't seem to want to eat much at one
sitting but would rather munch during the day. This is a challenge as Isabel
is a total chow hound and must be watched like a hawk or she'll eat the
kitten food if left out.

Any suggestions how to handle the needs of all these guys so that they all
get what they need?

You could feed the kitten separately and usually kitten food is fed until the
cat is 1 year old. Or, you could feed an "all life stages" food for all the
cats. Canned is definitely better for them than dry food which tends to be
more cereal than meat.
