I think you are thinking of the phrase  the other way around , which does essentially mean the opposite, but in a specific way. The specific nature of the other way around is that it means that doing what you say in the opposite direction is correct, not necessarily the exact opposite.
You can offer your kitten either dry food, canned food, or both. Be sure to choose food which is designed for kittens. They require a diet which is especially rich in protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Cat food that is for adults is not sufficient.
It would be best to give them canned food though; it's soft and easier for them to chew. Young cats/kittens eat depending on their size most of the time. Don't over feed it at a young age. If it's a small kitten feed it 1/2 to 1 cup of food a day.ry food is the same: As little as 50g for a high quality, grain free food such as Orijen and Applaws, but lower quality foods the feeding recommendation would be much, much more. The best way to find out how much you should feed your own cat is to keep an eye on his or her weight.
