While the symptoms of a wheat allergy are usually mild, in some cases they may be severe and can be deadly, making a diagnosis and appropriate management of the allergy imperative. Wheat allergy is most common in children; about two-thirds of them outgrow it at a relatively young age.
Obviously, then, feeding only once or twice a day isnât a good idea either. So how often should a cat be fed? A minimum of three times a day for adults, four if you can manage it, and at least four times a day for kittens.
Limited timed feeding should not be used in kittens less than 6 months of age. After 6 months, the feedings can be limited to twice a day. For example, if your cat's size and age dictates that he should be fed 1/2 cup of food per day, offer 1/4 cup food two times a day. If the cat does not eat at one of the feedings, don't add more food later. Each feeding, regardless if it is eaten or not, should contain 1/4 cup of food.
