1/2 cup would be way too much for one cat that also eats canned food. Wellness Core is over 500 calories per cup (535), so if we're talking about an average 10lb cat requiring somewhere around 20-30 cal/lb/day, that half a cup provides the entire daily calorie allotment. I suggest not feeding more than 2 tablespoons per day. If any.
