Hi! Seems I always have a problem. Thank you all for the great advice. My 2+ year old female bengal, Sheena, weighs 16 lbs. and is fairly big-boned. I had her to the vet for a check up recently and was told not to let her gain any more weight. Ideally she should be about 12 pounds. She eats 1/3 of a can of Tiki chicken in the a.m. (approx. 50 cal.) and 1/4 of a can of Nature's Variety (approx. 55 calories), plus a tablespoon of dry Instinct Ultimate Protein on top of each meal. She's very inactive. This calorie intake is hardly anything....she is constantly hungry and not losing weight. I occasionally give her a couple of 2 calorie treats because she is constantly annoying me for food. She is always hungry. When I Google how many calories cats should eat per pound of body weight, the answers range from 20 - 35 calories! She would be a whale if I gave her that much!
Any suggestions??
