Should I feed my kitten less after neutering to prevent weight gain?

Question

Hi! I was wondering about feeding your kitten after neutering. I've read a lot about cats getting fat after neutering, and wonder if we should feed our kitten less after the surgery? We already measure her food and follow the portion recommendations on the packaging. In that case - how much less? Or do we HAVE to buy "neutered-cat" cat feed? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 months and 15 days old | 5 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You can feed your kitty as recommended in the bag or by your veterinarian. If you stick to a regimen like that, there should not be a concern about her getting overweight. I think by measuring what you give her as you do already, you are already doing a good job to prevent her from getting overweight. Good luck and have a great day!
