Question
How much should I be feeding my cat?  She has just had kittens two weeks ago.  She seems to eat all the time?

Answer
She will need extra food/calories while she is nursing
the kittens too. You can feed mother Kitten Chow and it will be nutritionally complete
for the whole family when the kittens are ready to switch to solid food. I wouldn't worry about her she is going to
be very hungry while she is nursing  (in human terms..when a mother nurses her baby, it uses up 500 calories a DAY!)
let her have free access to it for a while
