Two reasons for your problem.

First, the kitten is at a really aggravating (to us) stage of his development, when kittens are exploring and instinctively learning to develop their hunting, stalking, and prey-killing skills.The "killer kitten" phase is from age about two months to age six months. Kittens lose their round baby body shape during this time and get long and lanky and often look downright skinny.

Secondly, he was probably starved before you found him. Some cats never get over having been seriously hungry. They never know when or if they might get more food, so they jump on any food they find and try to eat it all as quickly as they can. They can literally eat themselves sick, into vomiting and diarrhea and even fatty liver disease.

It's very difficult to convince a cat like that that there will always be more food. One thing you can try is to get a self-feeder so that there is always some dry food available. You can get one of the gravity-feed ones in which more food slides down from the container into the bowl as food is eaten from the bowl, but you will have to modify it with a piece of cardboard so that only a little comes down each time.

There are other, more expensive self-feeders with a wind-up mechanism, or that run on batteries, in which a cut-out section of the lid moves at intervals and allows access to food in a section of the food tray. At the vet hospital where I work we have used that kind successfully in modifying the glutton behavior of several cats.

The kitten isn't being deliberately bad. Hes just had a bad experience and is also in a difficult time of his life.

dont only feed it wet food from a can every now and then, leave out an ample supply of a dry kibble, such as science diet. it can eat that whenever it pleases and is not reling on you feeding it twice a day

Why dont you keep a food bowl on the floor, and fill it up, so that when the cat is hungry, it will eat out of the bowl...

and never let it go empty...

your cat will gain some weight over a long period of time (sometimes.), but it solves your problem...

The kitten is growing and isn't getting ENOUGH food if it's constantly hungry. Leave dry food down all the time, and give wet food two times a day. The natural activity of a kitten burns off so much energy, plus the body is growing, it needs the food.

Use kitten chow, the kitten should be getting something close to 35% protein, less than that and it'll feel like it's starving no matter what it eats. Kittens need 35-50% protein in their dry food, at least 14% in wet (it's determined differently in wet food, the water is factored in).

Your kitten is not getting enough food, basically, from what you're describing.

im not sure if im reading ur ? correctly but if the kitten isnt gaining weight and is always hungry it may have worms and you should have a vet check it out. also if you feed it every time it meows its going to learn that behavior and will be hard to break. we used to keep a spray bottle with water in our house for when the kittens got on places they arent supposed to be so that might help.
