I adopted a shelter rescue December 2023 and had been told by the foster that she eats both wet and dry food. It took some trial and error but I found that what keeps her happy is a daily 2.8 oz can of wet food, half for breakfast half for dinner, supplemented with 2.5 tbsp of dry kibble. After her wet breakfast, I give her one tbsp of kibble and repeat this for dinner. At bed time I drop a half tbsp of kibble in her bowl.
The vet said this feeding regimen is okay but the in home claw trimming service I use told me she is a little chonky. I have tried decreasing her kibble servings but after a day or so of this, she begins chewing on the bottoms of wood cabinets around my home or chewing on the dry caulk around baseboards.
She is 2 years old. She weighed around 10 lbs when the nail lady said she was chonky. She got sick back in May and her weight got down to 9 lbs but since she was ill, it was not the type of weight loss I wanted. Her weight got back up to 10 lbs as of last month.
I try to feed her healthy food especially considering that her foster had her on Fancy Feast wet and Purina Friskies kibble. Now she eats Fussie Cat wet food and Nulo grain-free kibble. I am not willing to mess with her wet food portions but am I feeding her too much kibble? Maybe 10 lbs is just her weight. What do y'all think?
