Christina & Kitty Cat

9/24 thread, History:
Yesterday, he ate 5 cans of FF LC which is 450 calories according to the food chart. He could've eaten more and was still whining for food, but I don't want to overfeed him. I started spreading out his meals into smaller portions on 9/18 because he has pancreatitis, but now he's just demanding full portions every time.
I want him to gain weight, but I'm worried if this crazy hunger and sudden increase in appetite is an issue? What was supposed to be a lunch snack ended up being 1.25 cans. In the early hours, I'll give him 4 to 8 tsp with lots of water to fill him up but he still screams for more the next hour.
I read this sticky on feeding kitty as much as they want but since Kitty Cat is currently underweight, I'm not really sure when to cut him off. He's already gained half a pound in a short amount of time. (Weight recordings are in my SS)
