So my cat, Strider, has been eating exclusively canned food (switching from Wellness grain-free to Wild Calling) for his two meals per day, breakfast and dinner. A 5.5-oz can is roughly 200 calories, depending on the protein. He is currently 19 lbs and on a diet, so I calculated that he should be getting about 350 calories a day, or a can and a half each day. I feed him half a can in the morning and evening (any more and he just won't eat it all), but even with the half can for a meal, he often leaves a little bit behind. So he's probably getting right at 200 calories or less on an average day. Should I switch to three meals a day to make sure he is getting enough calories?
