How often a cat should eat
My cat likes to eat several times a day in smaller portions. Vet said he should eat twice a day, but considering she recommends dry food, then no wonder - dry food sure can stay all day without spoiling! But canned food must be eaten right away, and that's what he eats now. He is almost 8 if that's of any indicator. Is it bad to feed him say 4 times a day in equal intervals, or not?

That's fine, and actually ideal.

You are doing great
My cats eat canned 3 times a day,but not all the food at once,they keep coming back to it until it's done. I just have to watch so my little fatty,Vinnie,does not suck it all up My new vet actually agrees with my feeding schedule and the food I am feeding

Hi Sugarcatmom,
Thanks for replying. What kind of food/diet do you feed your cat? Our vet also said he is 1 pound overweight, which is like 10 pounds compared to human weight. He maintained the same weight throughout the years until our last visit to the vet. I'm wondering how can I make him lose 1 pound without sacrificing his nutrition? I try to get him to play/exercise more often He is a big cat, but I wouldn't call him overweight. He was just always big, but he is also lean. He eats quite often, actually more than 4 times a day for sure. I don't know how to tell whether he is hungry or just fooling me! Maybe I should just leave more wet food on his plate, so he can nibble on it for half a day. |

My 3 cats eat Wellness cans for the past month or so,a little pricey with 3 cats,but I am hoping it will keep them healthier
