While the symptoms of a wheat allergy are usually mild, in some cases they may be severe and can be deadly, making a diagnosis and appropriate management of the allergy imperative. Wheat allergy is most common in children; about two-thirds of them outgrow it at a relatively young age.
Obviously, then, feeding only once or twice a day isnât a good idea either. So how often should a cat be fed? A minimum of three times a day for adults, four if you can manage it, and at least four times a day for kittens.
If the kitten paws and scratches at you when feeding, wrap the kitten in a towel. Not only will the towel keep the kitten warm, it will prevent the baby kitten from scratching you as you feed it. Newborn kittens will eat every 1 to 2 hours for the first three weeks.
