8 month old cat is obsessed with food! some advice ... - Pet Forums
I really think that half a pouch of food twice a day is nothing like enough food for a growing 8 month old male kitten. I would expect him to need at least 2 whole pouches of food a day, depending on his build. Also, he might be better being fed more than twice a day. If you are out all day, then you could try feeding him at breakfast, teatime and bedtime.
Also I wouldn't leave a whole bowl of dry food for him, as he may not be drinking enough fluids to balance it. Kittens are not great at drinking, in my experience. Cats are used to getting most of their fluids from their food, so they sometimes show thirst as hunger. So there is just a possibility that he is not so much hungry as thirsty.
You don't mention whether he is thin or podgy. Is his stomach flat most of the time? if so this might also indicate he is not getting enough to eat.
It sounds as though his little body is crying out for more protein, making him behave in the frantic way you describe, so I would feed him plenty of good quality wet kitten food, which will be high in protein.
