How To Know How Much And How Often You Should Feed Your Cat

How much and how often should I feed my cat?

A lot of cats, unlike dogs, are not chowhounds. That's good. That said though, the amount you need to feed your cat depends on the age of the cat, the activity level and their health needs. You use as a guide line if you're buying commercial quality food the back of the bag will tell you, if your cat weighs this many pounds, this is how many ounces or cups of food you need to feed your cat a day. Use that as a guide line and if you're noticing that your cat is getting a little chubbier you may want to tone that down a little bit. So, read the back of the label, use that as your baseline. Secondly, you can either give your cat meals in the morning and at night, or you can have a little free feeding station. And either option, measure the food out each day. Don't just keep dumping the kibble into the bowl because you risk your cat truly becoming a chowhound.
