    yeah, sounds pretty normal to me!

    when my cat had her last litter, we kept them till 10 weeks old, I was changing the kitty litter tray up to 3 times a day (ewwww, smelly, smelly!) but that was with the mother and 5 kittens!

    The consistency is fine, Elocin .. when we first got our little guy, he would go absolutely anywhere ... but training him was not a problem: I don't think it took us a week to have him poop in his tray (he now has two)

    I don't know how often you should be feeding them .. it sounds a little much, but we feed our guy (he's 7 now) 3×daily - kibble at 0600 and 2130, and canned stuff (usually a pouchful) at 1800 .. I would look at the side of the packet / can to see how much you should be feeding them.

    As for the tummies, if you're concerned, talk to the vet about it. When both our guys were growing up, we'd be at our vets almost constantly .. that's what they're there for! Just like with real-kids, you can never be too careful!

    Sounds ok to me too hun. Just think about it like this - what goes in must come out so if they are eating so frequently then they will probably have frequent bowel movements.
    My cat eats several times a day and has always done so. I just replace his dry bickies when the bowl is empty ro top it up at dinner time. They won't just eat and eat and providing they are lively and happy then I would assume there is nothing to worry about.
