My kitten is eating a lot

I've been away for a week on a work trip and I've come back to find my little kitten... with a right little potbelly! (My partner has clearly been looking after him well, from what I can see).

For a three-month-old kitten, he is getting Pro Plan kitten dry food ad lib, plus one pouch a day, which is about 100g (0.2 lbs) of wet food.

I think that’s a bit much, isn't it? To give you an idea, I bought a 400g (nearly 1 lb) bag of dry food two weeks ago and it's almost gone...

I've spoken to my partner and told him to cut back the portions... but he says our cat is hungry all the time; I just think he's struggling to self-regulate!

Thanks for your replies

    My Félia doesn't like meat, fish, or even supermarket roast chicken; she only likes commercial cat food.

    I’m not sure if wet food makes them put on weight, but it isn’t very nutritious, it causes tartar, and there’s generally a load of junk in it; you might as well just give them meat or fish directly.

    Mine won't touch wet food; they only want dry food left out for them to graze on.

    I leave dry food out all the time for my cats and give them wet food twice a week, which works well. At least they aren’t getting fat! :)
