Hello all!
I am the proud owner of a young abyssinian, but this is my first cat and I got very contradictory opinions about how much he should eat. We leave dry food in his bowl for the whole day, and feed him a small amount of canned food everyday (2 to 4 times a day).
He was a little over 2 months old when we got him, and in the past month, he has been eating about 30g (1oz?) of dry food and one small can (3 oz) per day. He is growing fast, but does not look fat.
The canned food, he eats very fast (each portion is gone within 3 minutes!), and he goes at the dry food every now and then (maybe 10 times a day?).
I just want to make sure we don't over-feed nor starve him.
Any advice welcome!
C.L.
