Kitten Feeding Schedule Generator – Meal Schedule & Portion Calculator
Use our free kitten feeding schedule generator to create a personalized meal schedule for your kitten. Our kitten meal schedule generator calculates meal times, portion sizes, and feeding recommendations based on age and weight for optimal growth.
How Kitten Feeding Schedule Generator Works
Our kitten feeding schedule generator creates personalized meal schedules based on your kitten's age and weight. The tool calculates the appropriate number of meals per day (younger kittens need more frequent meals), determines daily calorie needs using RER and DER formulas, and divides portions across meals with recommended meal times for optimal growth.
Understanding Kitten Feeding Schedules
Kitten feeding frequency changes with age: very young kittens (under 8 weeks) need 4 meals per day, kittens 8-16 weeks need 3 meals per day, and older kittens (6+ months) can transition to 2 meals per day. Kittens need 2-3 times more calories per pound than adult cats for growth, so portion sizes are adjusted accordingly.
