My kitten overeats & has mushy stool. What food or schedule helps?

Question

My kitten eats too much. She has been to the vet and he has had a stool sample. He said she probably just eats too much but could have iratable bowel. I’d like to switch her to a higher protein food, current protein is 32, and see if she eats less. If I pull her food up for a day the next day her stool is good. Otherwise, mushy. I leave dry down but could put her on a schedule if need be. There are other cats in the house who this food would be for as well. Vet said fiber but I’m not sure.

A high fiber diet or supplemental fiber such as pro-fibre added to the diet would be my initial recommended action also. Higher fiver helps with feeling full, improves stool quality and helps promote normal, healthy bacteria in the bowel
