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.
Kittens, at any age, have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is little and often, as often as four to six times a day for very young kittens. As kittens get older and bigger, they can be fed bigger portions in less frequent meals. By 6 months, a kitten can generally eat two or three times a day. How often a kitten needs to eat wholly depends on each individual. Some kittens eat more and some eat less. Generally speaking, its ideal to feed your kitten as much as it wants. Kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat.
