I have a 6 month old kitten that eats like a horse and will nick my other cats food as well if i let him, i have never had a cat like this before and is so greedy, always jumping on the kitchen counters for "our" food.

Drives us mad.

Not sure what we can do about it, i just lock him out of the kitchen now when i am in the kitchen and also watch him when he is eating.

Tizzi, have you thought about getting him a treat ball? You can put some dry food (but only a bit) in it and let him work for the food. But be sure to subtract the amount of dry from his daily allowance.

Or feed them in different rooms if possible.

Can I ask why you're hoping to rehome him?

If he is 6 months old Kathryn he should be given as much to eat as he wants.

It's a long story Aurelia but basically he's not really my cat, lovable though he is and I much prefer the quieter life with my Tilly.

I feed him a pouch in the morning and evening and he has dry food all day, if i fed him what HE wanted all the time he would be like GARFIELD!!

I don't think there is a "better way" as such, because he's always going to feel like Tilly is getting more than him because she gets to eat more often than him. From experience of having a similarly greedy cat, I can say he will get used to it and come to accept it eventually, as long as you give him set meal times and don't deviate from them.
