cat ate a whole tin of cat food

[marshymy]

he usually has a tin of food but spread out over four meals, i gave him his first meal but stupidity forgot to put the tin away! It's a 400g tin.

He's currently in a food coma on the landing, belly looking quite swollen. Will he be okay?

Probably have the squits.

I should think he'll be fine, but he might throw up.

He might be sick

He'll be fine. Feral cats are hunters. They would catch a rabbit, feast, and then not eat for a while.

My cat would do that if he had the chance 😂 he'll be fine

phew good! i'm sure i read somewhere that cats should be fed smaller meals more often than one big meal in one go, but wasn't sure if it can cause them harm if they do eat a big meal in one go. He'll probably be begging for more food later!

here's the greedy offender

he currently looks like a belly on legs

He’ll be absolutely fine, our cat is a big hunter and we caught him outside eating a fully grown rat (after eating a pouch and some biscuits at home). He was very full but fine!

Most animals should be fed once a day, actually. So it might upset how stomach this time as he's not used to it, but otherwise absolutely fine.

Hes living the dream

My cat is an expert in conning us into thinking he has not been fed and getting another meal out of us. Then he steals food, cleans all the plates and pans for us, fishes anything he fancies out of the bin and tops it up with a bit of hunting. Your floof looks very pleased with himself.

I can't see the photo! :(

If Silkycat ate a whole tin of cat food for dinner (usually get a quarter tin) she'd still shout at us for second dinner an hour later

Cats have an unlimited capacity for dinner.

He is now a very happy cat.

He'll sleep it off like a cat food version of a hangover. 😂

One of mine is a six dinner Sid... basically moved in with the neighbour as she is retired and home all day. But he eats in at least 3 houses that I know of. And looks like it...

He is in heaven😊. Let him sleep it off and make sure he has easy access to his litter tray🤢.

Don’t pick him up!

He almost looks like he has a whole tin inside him, doesn't he? 🤣

I can’t see him either :-(

My elderly cat could regularly eat a mini ton then con the rest of the family into believing he was never fed he’s fine

Also can't see the pic

that's strange, can you see it now?

cats should be fed smaller meals more often than one big meal in one go

That's true for kittens as they have tiny stomachs, but an adult cat will be fine to have just one or two meals a day - gradually reduce the amount of food given in the extra meals and increase it in the meal (s) you want to keep, over a period of a few days, if you want to do this.

I have my adult cats on two meals a day.

Still can't see it.

he's all good so far, not been sick yet! Curious why i shouldn't pick him up? I won't, i'm just wondering why!

Oh he is gorgeous
