Since your cat is only 9 months old, purrhaps you should try to 'free-feed"
it, at least for a while. Measure out more than you think it will eat, and
see when it stops. If you used dry food, I'd say put out 2 cups in the
morning,
and measure again next morning. After a few days, you should be able to
figure out what is right for it. If it starts being heavier than your vet
reccomends, then very slowly decrease the amount a bit.

Also, I'm not sure if you should be feeding 'adult' or 'kitten' food, since
it may still be growing, but your vet will know.

Happy to help (Advice can be asked for and given, but not necessarily taken,
you kno...

Sylvia
