Hello, and thank you for your question. Misu is an adorable name! At almost 2 months of age, your kitten should not need kitten formula, especially if she is eating regular food. When they are kitten (up to 10-12 months in fact) I recommend free feeding. This should include a combination of wet food (twice a day) and dry food, left out. Kittens have very a very high metabloism and need to have food and fresh water readily available. I hope this helps! If you have further questions please feel free to contact me for a one on one consultaion. My fees are reduced right now due to COVID-19 and I am happy to help with any concerns!
