- Cat owners have often asked how much food should they feed their cat. Pet-Care Advisor, Valerie discusses how this is not a question that has one simple answer for every cat or every food. Different cats may have different caloric needs and each food offers feeding guidelines which can vary a great deal.
Valerie offers some tips on how to establish how much your cat should be fed and also, should you feed dry food or canned food or both.

"Talk to your vet," and bring$800.
If you don't have the funds to bring your cats to the vet for annual checkups, you shouldn't have gotten a cat
@@petartodorovic5477 Do you really want to know how little your cat actually needs you? Most people don't.
@Edwin Lu For a checkup? "We want to run some tests," which will be outsourced to Cousin Vinny's laboratory (in his basement). Have your bank account ready.
I’ve asked my Vet several times during the last few visits and she never really tells me a straight answer. All she responds with is: “Ohh just reduce what you’re feeding your cat by 10%, her weight is fine.” Meanwhile my cat has a gut and she’s only 14 months old!
@@gorgeouss79 Here on the isle of Crete where wild cats thrive in city and country, we've adopted (that is, feed daily) 10 of them. We go by The Mouse Rule, meaning how much wet, dry, kibble and/or scraps equals their eating 2-3 wild mice per day (plus insects etc.), which is plenty. If they get mostly protein and a little fat they're fine, and no thin or overweight ones in the bunch! Goat's milk is a treat and their favorite is cheap chicken livers broiled with plain water added for gravy.
I’m here 9 years late but I think this was incredibly helpful, and reading all the hate comments jeez🙄
Agreed!!
I took in a stray cat for about two weeks now and she seems to be hungry all the time! I give a little more than the can recommends and that's why I came here on YT to be certain I'm not feeding her too little. Thanks for the info!
Check for worms....I had two kittens from a shelter and they never got over feeling starved to death.. because they had worms, which ate all the food coming in to them. Also, grain free will help as it is similar to humans in that it is a belly full feeling, but nutrition is missing, so nott usually satisfied with a high carb diet. They are carnivores...need pure meat product, no by-product, corn, rice, blueberries, etc.
Unlike dogs, cats USUALLY do not over eat. Stray cats have had to try and survive by finding food and sometimes not successful. We have taken in 4 ear tips this past year and they too were SO hungry at feed times. Now that they are safe indoors only, they can trust they will have food available and can relax. Don't rely on the can. Rely on what your cat tells you. You can always cover and refrigerate the uneaten portion.
@@saveearth21century OMG.. a stray is coming to my house Daily.. I used to had cat but as I remember they needed 1packet of dry food for 1 month..but this one finished all her monthy food within 2weeks 💀💀
What’s more astonishing is at 0:25 when her cat CHOOSES to leave with all that wet cat food up there 👆😅
Probably already finished with a bunch of them
Wow the manufacturers recommend a LOT of food!!!
So your cat gets chubby if they don't self-regulate, eats more and more, they sell you more and more, it gets sick from it so they can sell more expensive food recommended for ill cats and the cycle continues
I wonder why!?
so you buy more from. them
Lady Dyke Vader 恩愛哦嗷嗷
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I feed my three cats a lot less than that and they’re all healthy as per the vet. Jeez
My cat goes to his bowl every 30minutes. Im gonna stop leaving the bowl out. He used to control himself but now its constantly every 30mins
@Dont Stand So Close To Me fat ass cat lol
Same! She always acts like she’s starving! 🙈😣
Dont Stand So Close To Me That’s what I’m afraid of!
@@maxlewry7741 KSJDISHSKDJSK LMAOOO
It’s fine if he’s not overeating!
I simply want to know how many cans to feed a cat? I can't seem to find that answer anywhere.
Lol join the club. Yu would think that there would be some visual representation thats ideal and able to relate
@@Lawless187indika
Me too, I can't find a direct answer anywhere.
I swear, I don't think anybody knows.
When I spent $13 for 12 tiny cans of cat food, that would last him 4 days, that's where I drew the line.
I make Theo's food now;
It's boiled chicken quarters with pumpkin, green beans, rice and 2 whole eggs, mostly chicken tho, almost all chicken.
You don't have to add the taurine because it's dark meat and it's loaded with taurine.
Then I figure up the calories and give him 300 calories a day.
I just divide it up so he has the main meals at breakfast and supper and what's left is a snack at night before bed.
That way he gets his 300 calories a day.
If anybody wants the recipe let me know and I'll send it to you, it's as simple as pie and it's so cheap, and not hard to do.
Four chicken leg quarters will make 2 to 3 lb of food which lasts him about 20 days for $4.
You can't beat that with a stick, I don't care who you are.
That's the best I can do. It's just about put me in the madhouse worrying about it.
God bless all here and good luck!

When I first got my kitten SHE WAS SO SKINNY I could feel her bones Litteraly. So I decided to free feed her so she can gain some weight and so she won't starve and now that I look at her, her tummy is very very round 😅
My kitten is 7 weeks old how much should i feed her ?? If you have any advice thanks :))
You honestly have no idea how much time your video saved me right now. I really appreciate it! And if anyone is looking for a decent cat food that had the calories listed on both their can wet food and dry cat food... Kindfull from Target is not too expensive, pretty decent and contains all the info right on their packaging (just learned this). Anyways, thanks again for sharing!!
A cat really only needs 3 SMALL meals a day. You're welcome
Not really, 2 meals for an adult cat are more than enough. You still have to follow the instructions on the packaging for the appropriate weight.
@Anon Ymous There are no behavior problems. I have 6 rescue cats that eat twice a day. They're not interested in food if I feed them midday. If they do decide to eat, they eat out of boredom and get fat. Way more important than meal frequency is an adequate daily caloric need of quality food.
@Anon Ymous What cat metabolism? You mean "cat digestive system" which is short and passes food at a faster pace than the human tract and also the fact that they have a smaller stomach. That's why they eat more meals as feral cats, agreed Also because their prey is really small. There's a consensus(among vets and researchers) that feeding two times a day is perfectly healthy for them with no adverse effects. If you believe otherwise, I'm afraid you're wrong. If you work from home or have no job at all, yes, you can feed them 3 times a day. That's hardly the case with people that have to go to work. In multi-cat households, some cats will not have the same appetite as the others and, consequently, won't eat those 3 meals. Instead, that food will be eaten by cats with a bigger appetite. They'll eventually get fatter. A feeder is also out of the question because some cats might eat and others, again, will be left aside.
@Anon Ymous Not ideal in terms of what? Health? That's simply not true. Cats are animals of habit so if they get used to a schedule they have no issues in going by it. Since they eat bigger meals compared to feral cats that eat smaller meals, also means they're not as hungry in between. I don't wanna look like someone that has an argument for everything but you're not arguing based on research, that's all.
twntythofsx me sitting here reading you guys go back and forth 👁👄👁
my cat is 19 lbs im trying to reduce the amount of food he gets but he will not stop meowing or tearing up the house unless he gets more :(
my cat is 9 years old and and requires more wet food than dry food. The vets are wrong in feeding only dry food.
wow this comment was ages ago but i struggle with this same issue! did you find anything that worked? i've gone through 4 different foods, 2 of which were prescription diet foods that cost $50 a bag and was obviously not enough for my cat!
@@HappysweaterBunch me too have a 20lb male who luvvs food tried all top of the line foods the result was sniff yuck u eat it human! He's addicted to proplan not a bad food wish they would do away with the soy tho
How is he doing now?
You are being manipulated , my friend
I give my cat one can of wet food per day, half on the mornings around 7:30am and half in the afternoon around 6pm, and I always mix in a little bit of dry food too. This has helped him gain weight (my cat is 12 years old and he started loosing a lot of weight last year)
Echo what size can per day. Thanks
@@kathleenwalton3311
The big ones
If you use the small ones give him two. Or maybe 2/3 twice a day.
@@echo_edits k thanks
The small cans are 3 oz and at Costco the Kirkland brand, grain free, is 3 and 1/2 oz. I'm still trying to figure out how much they need, my two 7-month-old sisters I got last week
@@echo_edits there are cans from 2.5 - 5 oz
WOW! That is incredible! Your cat looks like our cat to a T. Hr has the same face as Graybar, our cats name. He is 8 years old. Thanks for posting.
PS: He is really a beautiful cat.
Very informational, thank you!
Your videos are great! Thanks for the help
this has been the most helpful video so far!!!
aww thanks for the beautiful video and what a stunning cat! my cat is also called dexter hehe. this video was truly helpful thanks again!
My cat got struvite crystala from taste of the wild dry. After 6 months of use. If your pet is on dry make sure they are drinking plenty of water, because dry doesnt have enuff moisture in it.
My cats have stopped eating their dry food they had been for years. Then I got an idea-- I remembered accidentally dumping their food in their water bowl, they ate & drank every bit
I wet their dry food bout a 1/4 to 1/2 cup, sloshed it around to let it get a little softer & they love it. I'm stoked their gettin water n em 2!
I am glad you add moisture water to dry food. Dry food gives crystals in bladder
My cat wont eat wet food she used to I dont know how to get her too
I add olive oil or organic coconut oil to my cats dry food
Sousou Channel Yes I do too, also rub it into the fur. It prevents them getting fur balls, they are, one rather thick furred tuxedo, and a domestic black thinner haired cat. I have to brush them every other day. Every day when moulting.😸😺
I must say that this video is quite confusing and difficult to follow. It even has some times where it gets contradictor. I can see the effort put in here to make this video, but it seems like it was not the best video to try to teach the average cat owner on how to feed and portion their meals. From the looks of the examples on the table, it seems that the portions of food are a bit too much for a single cat. The cat, Dexter, in this video seems to be a bit overweight. The longer hair of Dexter makes it more difficult to see body condition, but he seems to be a bit larger and rounder than she should be. Dexter is not terribly overweight, but he could stand to lose a few pounds. This individual believes that eight pounds is small for a cat? That is actually standard size for most cats, and she even said so which goes back to the contradicting I was talking about. The size of the cat in the video is one indication that overfeeding might be going on here which would make this not the best video to be watching to try and learn how and how much to feed a cat. So while I am here, I am going to try and simplify things for people. So here is my advice on how much to feed cats.
While measuring is important, feeding is not an exact science. Things such as activity level, size, age, and body condition matter more than precise measurements and calories. As long as people are not feeding their cats too much or too little, that is fine. How can you tell if you are not feeding cats the right amount? Well, the body weight of the cat (whether or not he or she is overweight or too thin) as well as whether or not he or she is eating all of their food in the same day. So if people are feeding cats too little, they could have cats whose ribs, backbone, and hips are starting to be visible. Feeding cats too much could result in them being overweight, slower, and having less energy or they do not eat all of their food that day which results in food staying in the bowl throughout that day and until the next day when their owner wakes up and looks into the bowl to find food still in there. Also, something I forget to mention was that while cats are designed to process water from their food better and may not drink as much water as dogs, they do drink when they are thirsty and when water is available. Clean water should be available to them at all times no matter if someone is feeding dry food or moist food like table scraps or canned cat food. Also, a compromise to people who are not sure whether to feed canned or dry could feed both. Since canned is less cost effective and some people say that dry food is better for teeth, canned food can be given twice a week or on occasions. Another idea is to simply add liquid to the cat's dry food from time to time. Maybe something like chicken broth. I hope this helps.
then u have someone like me who has three cats, and feeds a rotational diet so they don't get addicted to one protein....I also buy top and and bottom end cat food and mix it 95/5 good food to bad food ratio so they get an occasional treat while eating....all three of my cats are 8 pounds, 12 pounds, and 10 pounds....the 8 and 12 pounders are brother and sister and domestic shorthair breed, 10 pounder is a black tabby
VapeTime The rotation feeding seems like a more natural and appropriate method of feeding cats and dogs. I am impressed to hear someone using that method. I too believe that pets should not simply eat the same thing over and over, even if they do like it and become accustomed to that particular food. In nature, such species as canines and felines eat a variety of different things from rabbit, mice, deer, fish, beef, and even the occasional plants and fruits. However, I would recommend a less frequent and more controlled rotation when feeding pets, especially when feeding commercial foods. I don't know how you rotate, but I would wait until one bag of food is finished before switching to another and I would mix the little remaining from the old bag with the new bag from the top just to make the transition easier for the pets. I would also choose a particular brand or formula of foods and rotate between those only. I would not switch out daily, open two full bags and mix them together, or rotate foods between random brands and formulas. Also, I would only stick with higher end foods. There really is no true benefit to adding lower end foods (foods with filler ingredients such as corn, wheat, and soy that are said to cause food allergies in some dogs and cats) to higher end foods. Not even for taste, which I would imagine that pets like the taste of higher end foods with the meat and ingredients they thrive on over foods that do not contain what they like or need.
+Jeff Cares I have since switched to raw/canned/freeze dried on my day a week off and either nutriaca or canidae for dry kibble during work and sleep....I also feed one 3.5 Oz can of nutrisca wet food every morning to each of them
+Jeff Cares the raw is primal...the freeze dried is nature's instinct....the canned is nutrisca......my goal is to get them on a raw/kibble diet
Thank You For The Information. 👍
very informative!
Helpful ty 😊
@XxTasha7263 Kittens are often busy playing and too easily distracted to eat much food at one sitting. I'm with those that feel you should leave dry kitten food and water available all the time, and supplement with 2-3 meals of canned food daily. Feed only about 1 - 1 1/2 ounces of canned food at a time. Good luck with your new kitten.
I have three cats that free feed. They graze all day, and none of them are overweight, they’re pretty good about not overeating. However, one of our cats has a prescription food now, so we have to put everyone on a feeding schedule now. This is helpful, thank you.
Yup. Same with my cat. Free-feeds all day but isn't overweight even with me giving him a few daily cat treats. I'm beginning to think all these "pet advisors" on TH-cam don't know what they're talking about.
I’ve read,that someone took two cans of cat food from a company that produces prescription food and regular.
He took it to the laboratory and they found that both cans have identical ingredients
Now he's suing a company that lies to people.
Cat doesn’t need special food to lose weight ,just reduce his portion.
♥️🐈🐈⬛♥️
@@epriedane The prescription food isn’t to lose weight. It’s for his medical conditions.
@@charlieparker5678I’m
wondering if my adopted 17.2-17.4 on cat isn’t losing weight bc I’m not leaving dry food out between wet food and dry snack servings. This he feels more staved without control when he eats.
@@charlieparker5678it works with your cat, dummy. Not with all cats
Great Video .. Thank You ❣️ ❣️
"Dexter." What a cool name!
This is ALOT of talking to just answer the question. However I do appreciate that you tried to provide as much information as possible and you clearly went out of your way to go above and beyond and it's clear that you feel strongly about the nutrition for your animals. I just wanted a quick one sentence answer. The video is worth the watch though.THanks for the info.
Thank you, my grandpa was going to feed my cat one can of the fancy feast a day. He said he would let my grandma and me give more cans to her if he had the proof. This showed him. Thank you so much ^_^
One can of "fancy feast" a day and your cat will starve to death. I give my cat at least two of the larger size brands of wet food every day. NEVER dry food because that gives them urinary infections, then they associate the pain with the litter and pee all over the house.
don't overfeed your cat. I did that and aggravates me even more when he pouts and wanted his way. They know how to control the master.
the larger size should only be one a day. How old is your cat?
Thank you for your help ! :)
P.S. Who would dislike this video.
My family would feed our cats 1 to 2 cans a day. The last 10 years was a meow mix wet container or sometimes I'll get fancy feast. They LOVE that stuff!
And we'd put a bowl of dry all day. And a bowl of fresh clean water. They were also pretty active. Never had a problem with over feeding, obesity, or health issues from feeding. The only time they got sick was when we had them fixed and they got Upper respiratory infection from other cats at the vet. But this system of feeding worked for them for many years.
Thanks 4 the imfo, question how would u handle having multiple cats at various ages. We have one in particular a female persian that's about 10 years or so, she's getting a little on the heavy side. With this knowledge we're paying her extra attention. Feeding her different food separately isn't the problem it's how do we stop her from eating with the others aside from separating her every time we feed the others. Advice appreciated.
mine just eats everything in one go and then demands more so I don't really know what to do. We used to give her two meals of half a bowl per day but then moved onto half a bowl for a day. Gave her a canned meal this morning and she kept nagging for more the whole day. She's very small..
Should I always have food in her bowl? what if she binge eats? she has that tendency and also eats very fast
I feed my cat that exact kind of Taste of the Wild... she is about 8-10 pounds and I feed her about half as much per day and she hardly ever finishes and is still getting fatter. I wonder if the neighbors are feeding her salmon...
Not to be 'over critical' but a tripod would really help this video! Check out the 'stabilize' option in the 'enhancements' section... will keep this video from shaking.
Actually my vet said if both brands of cat food is the same then, you can feed them can and dry.
I recently took in a stray off the streets she was malnourished she didn’t have much life left in her I started setting food out so she would be able to eat eventually she just walked inside and we got her checked up at the vet. $650 later and her worms, fleas, ear mites, were gone we got her up to a proper weight, spayed.
I’m associating her hunger with the malnourishment cause she eats an entire days food at once and is still hungry, looking for ways to teach her to slow eat, I’ve tried bowls that are made to slow eating she just scoops the food out or knocks the bowl over and eats it on the ground. I’ve tried feeding her twice multiple times a day but that ended quick cause I just don’t have the time. And if someone’s got suggestions she likes to pee on stuff I’ve cleaned it up made sure her litter box is clean, removed the lid which seems to be helping, and kept things off the ground, there is another cat they like to play with one another and are never aggressive towards each other.
She doesn’t have a uti.
If she was always outside, she was never litter trained then and doesn’t know she supposed to use litter box. Thats my guess. Try to shrink the area she’s in/ move litter box their, and try to encourage her to use that. While discouraging her to spraying elsewhere or peeing elsewhere.. using sprays or something to not want her there
my cats must be weird because they drink tons of water!
+monica castro Not necessarily. Every cat is different. Also, while cats are designed to process water from their food better and may not drink as much water as dogs, they do drink when they are thirsty and when water is available. And they do get thirsty. Clean water should be available to them at all times no matter if someone is feeding dry food or moist food like table scraps or canned cat food.
Same my cat drinks a lot as well.
Flipodahippo And as long as your cat is getting the nutrients and care it needs, has access to clean water at all times, and is showing no signs of illness or distress, it is perfectly fine that cats drink larger sums of water. Though sometimes what we may perceive as a lot may actually not be as much as we think.
not as weird as mine....I have three bowls set out in addition to an automatic Waterbowl that holds a half gallon
and that's a two day supply
I have a seven month old cat, I think I am overfeeding him because he definitely looks like he has gotten fat in just a month of rescuing him. What is the correct amount to feed? I think I am feeding too much and too frequently. I give breakfast wet cat food mixed with kibble. then I fill up a bowl of dry kibble so he can eat it all day, and then at night I do another half a can of wet cat food mixed with dry food, and then he will wake up at 3 AM and eat some more. LOL. I am feeding a lot because they say kittens need to eat more. What is the correct amount of dry kibble I should get, half a cup? Or less than that. Should I only feed him twice a day?
I have a question to ask
that what type and how much food should I give to my one month old kitten
can you plz tell me
Thanks!
My two cats eat anything I eat. But we always scoop her food before we put spices ...as long as u trick with some meat or eggs any food.. but she loves minced meat mixed with pumpkins or peas
Your videos are very good! Thank You!
I Feed my Birman weruva tiki cat and blue dry food 1can 5 oz chicken and duck 1can 2.5 oz tiki cat wild salmon and chicken and1/4 cup of blue in between I feed him 4 small meals throughout the day allowing him Time to digest and fast he looks and feels great!
According to my research I need a full large can of cat food twice a day for each of my cats. 17lbs and healthy but that seems like so much.
How should I fed my kitten can wet food he is 3 months old? One whole can in the morning and the sec can like noon and half of the other that is left for evening?
Dang. That looks like way too much dry and way too much wet. 2-3 cans per day? I don't think so.
Yeaaa I was doing 2 cans a day (for 2 kittens) and am back to doing 1 a day to save my bank 😅😭😂
My 8 month old siamese kitty is in good shape , i feed him twice a day of cat food in the morning i give him dry food and when i eat breakfast i give him a little from my food and at 5 or 6 pm i feed him 1 can food the one on the left side ! And its not only at breakfasts that i feed him lol somtimes when i eat dinner or lunch ! He loves vegies , cooked carriots , tomatos with eggs he eats almost everything
I have a barn cat and he’s very skinny I try to feed him everyday but being a barn cat he go’s all over the place and i don’t know what to do
My female 1 year old cat is 5 pounds. She recently went to the vet two days ago and he said she is perfectly healthy. She's just a small kitty with a tiny frame.
Omg. My 8 months old cat is 10 1/2 lbs. 😮
Cats and dogs will eat and eat and eat since in the wild you devour whatever you can when you can.
I usually feed my cats one can of wet food each in the morning, and one each in the afternoon.
How long can you leave wet food out?
we have two eight month old kittens and we have actually been feeding them less than the recommended amount of food but they're still overweight. Any advice?
i have a question....my cat is having hairfall problem what should be done for it...plz telll
We just took our cat to the vet and he said she gain another pound(13 now) and we are trying to figure out what's enough for her to eat. We give her scoops of wet in the morning for Breakfast, then leave dry out for her for the day. Because my husband and I both work and I don't come home until 6.
But she's been stuffing herself then throwing up at different times. So my question is how much wet should I give her would a 3 oz can be good for her for all those hours and leave very little dry? She needs to lost weight, but she's so use to the free eating.
I ordered a special bowl for her to control her dry eating so hopeful it would work to help her slim down.
+PikamooAnimation-thanks, that's what I'm doing. She hasn't had a problem throwing up so far. I think she getting use to it.
I believe you should leave a 1/2 can of wet down with the dry and water, Then feed the other 1.2 can at evening time.
My kitten is 3 or 4 months old.. what time interval should I give him food
i don't no how much my kitty Diego is but i should see tomorrow after the doctor?
How much do you feed your cat for blue bluffalo sensitive stomach and the the healthy gourmet wet cat food
I give my cat 3 ounces of wet food morning and evening. After she eats I leave about a fourth of a cup of dry food in her bowl between those times. She about 7-8 months old. Please tell me am I doing anything wrong?!
too much wet in the am. break it down to 1/2 can in am and 1/2 pm. only if it is pate. You can mix with water and make it soupie.
Finally video about calories and not about nonsense.
The portions was the most important part and you never said what it is, do we give then a half of a can or a whole can, the smaller the container the more likely we would give the entire thing to them, and so two or three times a day of can food in small portions, while I leave dry out continually. Just reading the back of a bag, isn't really hands on experience, which is why I listened to this video in the first place, thanks but I think you could have spent a little more time on actual content rather then generality's and bag recommendations.
Is 60 grams ( aprox three full tablespoons of dry food moistened with water ) enough for a 5 month old 4 pound kitten per day ?
im gonna be bringing home 2 kittens in about 2 weeks when they are about 4 weeks old. I am gonna be feeding them purina kitten chow the dry food and i was wondering if you knew how often and how much i should feed them that???
@moonwitch1981
what do you mean a "packet" of wet food? like one can per day?
@PetFoodDirect Hi - Im getting a kitten in 10 days and I already have two older cats. My mum has said that we will have to watch the kitten eat in case one of the older cats steals its food - how will i know when the kitten is hungry so i can feed it?
what about in hot weather, would they need to drink then
Feeding my cats is hard. I rescued them from the street. They were free fed till I brought them to vet. One was 18 the other 17 (mind you they were emaciated when I got them). My vet said normal 10-12 pound cat should eat around 225 calories, but due to the fact they need to loses faster than cats like to 190 calories.... For wet food. The water was suppose to bring them down, they have only lost a few pounds & they are following me every where screaming. This lady said 30 cal per pound that's 360 cal a day. So a bit confused.
I CANNOT believe I just saw a cat jump off of a table full of cat food.
My cat pukes if she eats to much
So I have to feed her manually meaning watch her and pick it up if shes inhaling it and have her wait a few seconds
But I dont mind she likes being fed from momma
I dont free feed
Would be nice if we could actually see into the bowl to get an accurate picture. What is looking at the food behind the rim of the bowl gonna do for me?
I give my 1 year old female 100 gr wet food in the morning and 100 gr wet food in the evening. I also have a bowl of dry food but she doesn't eat it
Dexter: MOM STOOOPP, YOU'RE EMBARRASSING MEEE!
When I bought my house 13 years ago, the [ Ferrell] cat was already there. There were a LOT of cats around the neighborhood. This one just claimed my property as hers.
She was not a kitten.
She did become friendly with me, and a couple others.
[ a neighbor trapped all the cats, had them fixed. (Service was free), and rereleased them.
CAT , now known as Lady Cat, has slowed down.
Before, the only times I fed her was when the temperature was freezing. Now that she is slowing down, I started feeding her - one can of cat food, whenever I come home from work.
[ I have no Vet, and couldn’t afford one anyway.
I have watched videos on how much to feed, but being she is not a “pet” [ per se ], it’s very hard for me to judge.
Should I feed her more than just one can per day ❓
(( and forget about weighing her)).
❓❓❓❓❓
can u do one for kittens? pls
check out the kitten lady, she is pretty knowledgeable on kittens
Is it okay to vary in dry and canned like this: 1-1/2 a cup of dry food for breakfast, canned food for lunch and dinner?
start with 1.2 cup at first and cut it down to 1/4 measuring cup of dry.
Dry food has some preservatives overtime turn into problems for cats its okay to feed cat 1-2 years dry food but its better to start changing their diet especially if they are young.
How much to feed my Persian kitten of 50 days?
Hi I need help I used to feed Orijen but I was told I should feed canend because my kitty is overweight, I've been feeding canned for about 2 months now and my kitty likes it a lot more and is a lot more active BUT since last week I've noticed bad breath and she has dental plaque in the back teeth so what should I do? I was told dry food helping teeth stay clean was a myth but clearly it's NOT and I don't know what to feed her.
***** I thought chicken wings were unsafe because of the hollow bones?
try getting the treats for plaque removal. Don't take to the dentist. will cost you over 150.00 to remove the tarter.
Can you feed a cat/kitten everytime I eat?
I need some help, my little Wyatt is only 1 yrs. old and already 11 lbs. I think he gets a lot of exercise but he has a little belly that hangs down when he walks. I try to just fill his bowl in the morning with about 4 sm. handfuls of food, and he seems to have some left at night, but he still is getting too fat too quick!! I just want him to be healthy!!
that is too heavy for a 1 year old. you are over feeding the cat. 1/4 cup of dry and 1/4 of wet. water on hand.
actually i was looking for advice on how to serve food to cats if you have competition from ants (living in the south they come in to the house as soon as they know that there is food). one morning i came down and the hole area around the food bowl was FULL with ants. they love wet food.
Put the cats bowl in the center of a plate of water.The moat will keep them out
NIGHT DISPATCH Omg what a wonderful idea!
I only feed mine their food at night, they get a small amount of dry treats (catnip temptations or greenies) in the morning each and some when I get home from work + a fussy cat or dine tube treat each before or after dinner. This stops the ants from finding the food source. I also use a food mat under the bowls which I clean every morning after I have fed the cats the night before. My cats get fed anytime between 8pm-12pm at night depending on when they were last fed. They get 1 small can (so a sungle serve) or sachet each plus a 1/2 sxoop of dry food mixed in, then another 1/4-1/2 scoop in each bowl after dinner to last overnight.
They have access to clean water in a seperate large bowl between their individual bowls as well.
If my cats are fussy ill mix 2 different flavours of the food sachets or cans together to spice it up a bit before adding kibble, keeping in mind thats 1/2 from each can or sachet in each bowl.
My cats also have an elevated bowl and a non elevated bowl since they tend to push each-other around to get food and are a bit silly sometimes not wanting to use the seperate bowls.
1:30 in and nowhere close to an answer. ABORT
swong32 🤣🤣🤣Thanks
not to mention that she looked like a dog
@@brahmoone you should check your head bro
@@brahmoone idiot
@@brahmoone wow your really mature. Did your parents teach u to be this way? Smh. Grow up dude that's the problem with this world now a days, people being ignorant towards others for no damn reason.
well i`m confused, my cat weighs 19 pounds, we give him at 7 am daily his normal bowl of dry food , around 9 am his bowl completly empty, ( around the same quantity of the blue pink bag dish on your video) why is that ? and my cat probably is from another planet because he drinks a lotttttttttttttttt of water, he is a Toxido Cat 4 years old.
I had to put my cat on a diet and is hard. I went to wellness canned food. I tried 1/4 but wants 1/2 can of the 3 oz. I also put dry food on the side with water. He still wanted more and begs. the cans that I get are not cheap. At Agway its 1.45 a can and at Pet smart is 1.29 a can. So I buy 15 cans and get 3 free. It costs over 20.00 for his food now and don't think this is the right food to satisfy him. Can you give me suggestions. He is 9 years old and was use to Fancy feast wet but didn't eat it all. He sucked out the juice and left the pieces in his bowl. I was ready to throw him out the door. He wakes me up now 5.30 in the am. I don't know what to do. Any advice?
veronica omalley Please don't throw him out the door. Keep trying. Try Weruva and BFF canned food (the grain and carageenan free ones) sold at pet Supermarkets and other local pet store. Or Solid Gold (inexpensive) pet food, Nature's Variety Instinct or Soulistic pet food sold at Petco and other local stores. Orijen and instinct makes good dry foods sold in stores or online. My cats love the little pouches of weruva gravy and meat, you can put a little bit on top of his fancy feast or whatever food you feed him. I put it on top of their food, along with a little bit of instinct freeze dried meat or instinct toppers and sometimes Stella and chewy freeze dried meat.
Giving them dry food when they are not the best at drinking their water or what I call it when I feed my cat a formality lol 😆! Can also cause constipation and if you have ever been constipated then you know it's painful! I feed my cat wet only!!
@LivMagic101 You have to make sure the milk is meant for cats. Too much normal milk will make the cat sick. My kitten had diarrhoea on my brother's shirt when she drank milk.
my cat is still a kitten so i feed him 1/2 cup of dry food and 1 can of fancy feast per day. he also gets temptations and greenies. 😻😻
Does anyone else hear that creepy breathing behind the camera...?
Yup
Oh, know you mean someone is breathing unbelievable.
Why is it creepy? It's obviously the person that's filming. And humans need to breath... How is it creepy....
Dym Ellis yes lol
Megami no shit, but they don’t gotta breathe dat hard
My two tabbys eat dry food. I feed them twice daily, splitting the food evenly, about 1/4 cup total for each. They are not allowed to cruise eat. They get 15-20 minutes for each mealtime. Once they walk away, I pick up and toss whatever is left.
they need some wet food in-between.
@@veronicaomalley3974 agreed is crucial to bowel health
I have two cats
I feed him one small can each at night
Morning 1/4 cup each every 6 hrs
One is no need more food her weight 10 ponds
Other one he need every 30 minutes hungry and push his food box. 😊
His weight 16 pond 😊
I think 🤔 dieting start one of them 😊
We don’t free feed our 2 cats, we have a Bengal he weighs about 8 pds. And our Savannah is about 16 pds. They get 1/3 cup of taste of the wild dry 3 times per day between them not each and 2 tbsp’s of wet food each and they maintain a healthy weight and are active. If I went by what the bag and can said, they would be elephants not cats.
My cat has two food bowls in the bedroom and two in the living room area isn't that enough food for him to eat
Cats are fussy im just working that out..and this calories thing is confusing can't u give a weight in how many grams of food per day???
LOL IM DRUNK AS FUCK BITCH, YO SHIT ROCKS !
Apologies Valerie, but what is a "pet-care advisor"? I would like to be able to trust your advice with my furball, but what are your credentials? Thank you in advance,
Mike
How much should I feed my 7 year old cat.. I feed her wet cat food WildLife one
Oh an my cats eat nothing but purine cat chow an get wet food on special occasions . Vet told me my 19 year old was fat to another lie she is mediam build an 17 pounds , all muscle no flab. An spayed. My boy cat is huge also firm no fat, all my cats are active too🙄
I have TWO cats and I give them dry food because of the price. I mean I'm not going to spend a huge dollar amount on cat food even though I do love my cats. They're happy with what I give them,and they are also very picky. However with two cats (one being very active,and fairly skinny. and the other being a complete pig,very sednantary and mostly fat. how should I feed them!? if anyone can answer me please do. as far as getting them at a good weight and the times of day to feed them&whatnot.
feeding only dry foods can cause kidney stones, they need more wet than dry food. My cat died and i didnt find that out until it was too late
My cat always biting what I do......?
