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.
At 2 - 3 weeks feed the kittens every 4 - 5 hours; at 4 weeks old it is every 6 - 8 hours. These are guidelines only and depend on the kitten's size, growth rate and state of health. It is, however, crucial to feed the very young kittens 2 hourly.
