How much cat food should a medium sized adult cat eat?

by admin on July 9, 2010

I plan on getting a cat in a few weeks and would like to know everything i can before then. This is a regular sized cat, not too fat, not too skinny. Maybe roughly 10lbs. So how much canned food should I give her? Is it okay to alternate between canned and dry food? If so, how much dry food should she eat?

Solid Gold Catz N Flocken recommends feeding 1-1/2 cups of dry food a day to a 10-lb cat. I just looked at it. But it depends on the cat food

yikes! for a ten lb kitty a cup and a half is gonna give you a 20 lb kitty in a month! for a ten lb cat a half cup a day is more then enough! and i dont give my little guy canned food unless its a treat. we give him a half can two to three times a week at the most. canned food isnt something i recommend feeding as his daily food… its not as good for a kitty as they lead you to believe. but a half a cup of dry food is more then plenty for a 10 lbish cat. ours is a medium sized cat and our vet said he should be around 8lbs, hes a little over 10 now. i think hes fine as he is. we did reduce his food intake to a half cup a day though, just so he doesnt gain any more.
