Kittens often meow when hungry but can exhibit the same behavior if they’re greedy. Check their feeding schedule and ensure they are receiving adequate, balanced meals. Observe physical cues: a hungry kitten will appear more restless and might chew on objects, whereas a greedy one may engage in playful behavior even after being fed. Maintain a regular feeding routine to help distinguish between the two behaviors.
