    He has been scoffing as much wet meat he can get, along with all the biscuits he wants, he easily eats more than Morti even though he is 1/3 of her size, it just seems like it's not enough for him without milk as well.

    I was wondering if it was his digestive system not maturing after being weaned, but that's something to bring up with a Vet rather than the internet.

    If Dylan's very active maybe he's burning off more calories so needs more food. Cats very rarely overeat. Definitely see what the vet says next time x

    Well it looks like good news, the kitten milk is working. He has stopped steeling food, kept himself off the tables and worktops, and now weighs 1 pound 8 ounces!

    My little tiger is growing so fast! He still loves his Tiger Tummy Tickles though, every-time he say it he just flops on his back ready :D

    He is a very active little kitten, we give him as much food as he wants - there is always dried food there ready for them as well as his milk, water and wet food. He is currently on my lap attacking my PJ bottom strings :p

    He's on the go all day before curling up on me at night. Though I'm getting woken up by their little game... Morti loves to be under the blankets, and the most fun game in the world for Dylan is "pounce the lump" so I have them running all over the place during the night, as well as having my toes attacked :D

    They are so cute though so I don't mind, as long as they are happy so am I :D

    The entire bottom floor is open plan, we've tried putting him in the garden but it makes him frantic.

    I see why someone has to hold him now then. My kitten also doesn't like it if she's out in the garden and the door gets closed or if me or OH aren't out with her (even though she has a big "brother" to protect her.)

    Since we've been giving him cat milk he's stopped trying to steal food as much so I think it's working for him. He's also started growing really fast, he gained 35% of his body weight in 2 days. He's longer now, and you can't feel his spine while you stroke him anymore.

    Ah, that's really good. He'll soon catch up with your other kitten :)
