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 is best to feed your kittens a specially manufactured cat-milk substitute. At about four weeks, kittens can begin eating solid food. Start with small portions and gradually feed them more. Always provide fresh water. At eight to nine months, young kittens can be gradually introduced to food designed for adult cats. Mix the new food for adult cats into the kitten food, ever increasing the proportion of the new to the old. Most cats reach their mature weight by their first birthday, although males take slightly longer than females. By the first year, your cat should be eating adult foods. At this point you can also reduce the feeding times to twice a day. Remember, however, that several small meals throughout the day suit the cat's natural eating behavior. The following table shows the number of meals per day and quantity of food per meal: From the sixth month on, your cat can be fed 1-2 times daily.
