- Every food is a little different. But keep in mind that an average 10lb cat only needs 280 calories a day!

I am genuinely blown away they need so few calories! Thanks for the great info.
I have a 1 year old 10lb cat who I feed 1/4 cup in the morning and at night (with some snackies in between) he seems to be happy with that !
Huge omission, your cat may be overweight because they are eating a diet based exclusively on dry food. Another thing needing mention, this can kill males due to lack of necessary water in their diets and urinary blockage. The water deficiency is a problem with females as well. Cats eating dry food diets become fat because the cats must overconsume to get the daily nutrients they require. In addition, cats get a large percentage of their needed daily water intake from the foods they eat when fed properly. Dry food does not provide this and actually increases the water intake need of the cat as it is essential in the digestion processes. You will find varying opinions on this matter but personally I have seen two male cats who died prematurely because the owner was not aware of what constitutes a proper diet. Granted it would not hurt to discuss this with your vet as it may have additional needs.
Basically “pay me and I will tell you”. Thank you for nothing.
I had my cat on a gravity feeder and after 6 years my vet finally said she could probably use a diet. I asked him how.
He said fill a bowl in the morning with Iams kibble. When she quits eating, remove the bowl. Repeat for dinner. Then that is the amount to feed her everyday.
Nice simple plan if you need to put your cat on a diet.
My cats eat like pigs,I’m mad at them .
😂 I Can relate to your comment
My cat is greedy too
How many grams of food does a Persian cat have daily?
it's useful info . ... 260 cal a day for a 10lb cat!
Now if you could advise on how to feed a 13 lb cat to lose 1 lb ... That would be even more helpful!
Thanks in advance!
I would prefer a little bit more case scenarios and numbers
So I feed wet and dry combo. I go based on a set amount of calories a day. I spoke with my vet a month ago and determined 280 calories is good for a 6 month old cat. It’s only a month later, but his growth is rapid, which I understand is usual. For a very active cat, I have been feeding him the same. My concern draws at the fact that he is begging, like really begging for more. He knows where his food is stored, and he’s at the pantry door all the time just meowing at it and me. He puts his paws all over the door to let him in and give him more food. He doesn’t really show any signs of underfeeding, but he is my first baby. I am just concerned. With everything going on, going to the vet is rough right now too. Any recommendations?
I should add that I went on vacation and I think the person that was baby sitting may have over fed him. It’s almost been a month since and I was hoping he was going to grow out of begging as I got him back on schedule.
You didn’t say anything on the video 😒😒😒
The real question is: how do I keep my cat from meowing if I feed him less?
this 😂
I am feeding my two cats with raw chicken is it good? And when i feed them with cat food, they vomit it.. plz can you help me about this situation.
Doesn't explain how many hours apart
Video says “how much food”, not “when”.
But I go 7am, 12pm, 6pm, like a typical human schedule
why my cat is so hungry all the time..she eats a lot
Art Tuber-pk mine too..she is 5-6 weeks old..all the time hungry..how much should I feed her? And how many times ? How many hours apart ? Need help😫
My cat used to be hungry in kittenhood
I increased his quantity now he’s better
When they are a kitten they need a lot of food to grow in to a full grown cat. It’s normal don’t worry.
@Luc Verhoeven Was about to say this. If you feed low grade food, they need a lot more.
Mine don’t stop eating 🍽 😹😹
SAME
My orphan kitten is 7 weeks old and eats until her belly is tight. Is that normal?
Kittens need a lot more calories my vet said. I was told let them eat as much as they want when they are that young because they growing babies :)
This Vet really gave no defined info for feeding of cats. I have an adult inside cat that I adopted, he's 8 years old 26 lbs & needed to know how much dry food to feed him. My eyesight is bad & I'm not able to read the back of the bag so this for me was completely useless
Lol this dude just talked in circles go to another video
