How much should I feed my 8-month-old kitten for a healthy weight?

Question

Hi! I I have a domesticated short hair kitten. I was wondering how many times a day should I feed my 8 month old kitten? How much should she weigh now? And how much should she weigh when she reaches 12 months old? And how can I weigh her properly if I had to make sure she's on the right track? One of my biggest fear is that becomes extremely overweight like other neighborhood cats or becomes more prone to diseases because of it. Thank you!

The amount to feed depends on the particular food you are using. If you take a picture of the feeding guidelines on the package we can help with an exact amount to feed. Every cat will weigh different when they are adult size, but normal is usually between 8-12 pounds. Measuring food and limiting treats and making sure they stay active are the best ways of preventing obesity.
