How much does your cat eat daily?

[gobster]

Hi All

My cat is a proper greedy bugger, even as a kitten he’d stalk the other cats bowl ready to pounce on anything left

He may be a little fatter than he should be but if he’s hungry he gets quite vocal and quite bitey

So just curious what the norm is for everyone else?

Do you also keep food available all the time or only feed at meal times?

A whole tin morning and night plus purina one or iams complete food out 24/7. I go through 3kg of the dried food in around 10 days

I have 9 cats so not hugely comparable I guess

1 pouch and about half a bowl of biscuits, although more is offered.
She is tiny and runty though.

I leave dry out all the time. The two of them get 2 and a half pouches each during the day too. They stop when full and don't eat everything in one go.

Leroy has 2 pouches a day, plus Royal Canin dry available for whenever he fancies a snack. He probably eats a small bowlful of those most days.

6kg of big cat though - officially not fat 😁.

30g dry food
1 pouch wet food

(2.7kg cat)

6 kg cat. (That’s a stone in old money).

About six pouches a day ... he gets hangry if he doesn’t eat.

About 4kg each 2 pouches each a day and dry food all day long

I understand hangry cat far too well! 😃

Mine is 4-5Kg and has a pouch in the morning and pouch in the evening. Plus dry food available all day. I have found if I get really tasty dry food he’ll eat it straight away and start to get a bit too round looking but if I buy the rubbish dry food he’ll only eat it when he obviously is properly hungry and therefore keep on the slight less tubby scale

My issue with that is the tasty good is he food quality where as the rubbish is a bit cheap and nasty

Just don’t want another vet visit where they seemed quite aghast by how much weight he’s gained since his last visit 😂

5 months old and berry gready. Three pouches, dry mix all day & what ever bread he can sneak away with when am not looking. Even at that he still asks for more, I should have called him Oliver!

Cat is 13 lbs and has 4 or 5 pouches a day, a small handful of dry food and whatever poor creature he's killed's head. Only the head.

4.5kg and she has a third of a pouch twice a day. Plus biscuity/kibble food down all day for her to snack on. She probably only eats about 30/40 grams of that a day.
She's very economical to run!

Handful of dry food in morning and 1 pouch in evenig. She nearly 8 and weighs 3.5kg

4kg each id say. Half a pouch each twice a day and 25 grams of dry twice a day but that soesnt all get eaten.

30g dry food
1 pouch wet food

Pouches are mostly water, so she only has it for the added fluid intake really.

Its the high protein biscuits that they need to fill them up.

She has filtered water as well.

2 pouches a day plus a couple of handfuls of kibble. She is a greedy pig and begs for food all day but she’s a fatty and I got told off by the vet last time she was there

MadamGinger that sounds exactly like us! It’s worse if he’s been to the cattery as he also gains holiday weight!

Whatever he wants - he's not prone to being overweight! Usually between 1-3 pouches and a bit of Lily's kitchen biscuits

Most of one pouch a day plus as much James wellbeloved as she will eat - usually a small bowl. She is quite petite though.

3kg moggy. Has 1/2 to 1 pouch per day and a bowl of go cat. V rarely has a few dreamies or scraps from our plate.

Half a cup of dry plus one pouch, shared between two cats, one 4kg and one 5.5kg. The smaller one is greedy and would eat four times that amount so I feed larger cat on a high shelf that greedy can't get to.

Mine has dry food down at all times and eats between 2 and 3 pouches of wet per day. She has a bit of a saggy belly but is very very active and spends much of the day outside so not worried.
