how much to feed an 8lb cat?
I feed Friskies wet, and a few treats.
I've been splitting a can (somewhat according to size) between the three cats twice a day, and Matt's losing weight(which is good, because he's over weight), midnight's spot-on, and Little Helen the foster cat is gaining. The last weight I saw on her chart was 8lbs, but she weighed 8lbs 10oz when the vet checked her broken tooth a couple of weeks ago. He's not concerned yet, but she's a bit pudgy, and I don't want to make her fat.
The shelter wants me to keep her long-term, (until they find her a furrever home) so I'd better get this feeding thing sorted out because I don't want to cause her long-term problems.
