too much food still?

Hi all-

Awhile back Id asked some questions about switching my 3 cats to a healthier/ higher quality food and got some great suggestions. After alot of research I decided on Welness grain free can food and Felidae platnium kibble.

I have 3 cats one is 20lbs and the other 2 are between 8-10lbs. I feed according to the felidae bag that says 2cups collectively a day and then i feed a half a can twice a day for all 3 to share. Dose this sound like to much still? I do want them to loose some weight especially Panda aka fatty. They never finish all of the kibble, so maybe I need to reduce that amount??

Any suggestions would be great!!

Happy Turkey day everyone too!!

Becki and the clan

You might want to try reducing the amount of kibble, the portions suggested on the bags tend to be rather high. What about giving them a full can to share twice a day and only 1 to 1.5 cups of dry? You don't want to cut back too quickly or you could have a revolt on your hands, as well as a risk of fatty liver.
