What food should my 8-month-old fixed kitten eat to avoid weight gain?

Question

My kitten is almost 8 months and he was just fixed a week ago, is it better to start feeding him adult cat food now so he doesn’t gain too much weight? Or should I continue feeding him kitten food until he is a year old. Thanks(:. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 7 months and 22 days old

After neutering, generally at the age of 6 months, in Leo's case 8 months, cats are still growing not yet reached their full size till around 12 months of age. For now I would recommend to stick to a good quality kitten food till a year old. But, many young cats gain weight beyond what they should gain after neutering so watch him if he is gaining more weight then he should then talk to your vet about adult cat food, some are specific to castrated/spayed young cats.
