Thank you everyone for all the good advice! I ordered some more nutritionally dense/complete cat food that should be here tomorrow. For today I tried leaving out less than 1/4 cup of the high protein/grain free cat food for her to graze on and eat during the day. Winnie is pretty good at self...

I'm pretty sure she was a stray (she was found on the street with her kittens), but beyond that they were sparse on details. They also didn't/wouldn't tell me the food she was fed before because to quote them "she's a shelter cat, she doesn't care". I was considering free feeding as a potential...

That's a good point! The cat food spreadsheet had Authority as a pretty bad brand, so I likely need to buy Winnie something better and more satisfying. It's good to know the third meal doesn't have to be everyday either -- I would hope to do it at least most days in an ideal world!

I just got a cat a few weeks ago from the shelter and I'm trying to figure out if I'm underfeeding her or if she's just being a bit on the dramatic side. She weighs 10 pounds, which the vet says is her ideal weight, and she gets fed 3.3ish ounces of Authority wet food twice a day (so it's about...

It's definitely been a bit hard to do the post-op stuff, but in a week she'll finally have the stitches out! It's hard to get good photos with the cone on, but here is the lovely Winnie in all her glory! I didn't mention before, but she's a 2 year old tabby!

This thread has been so useful to me! I just adopted a cat last week from the shelter and I've been feeling really stressed. The shelter spays the cat on the day you pick it up, so it's been a stressful week of trying to make sure she doesn't bite the stitches/giving her antibiotics and pain...
