As a new cat mama, I'm trying to do the best I can for Ruby. At the shelter she was getting Iams food, so that is what I'm still feeding her. She is one food-obsessed little cat and I'm sure would eat non stop if I let her.
She weighed 3.08 kg when I brought her home from the shelter. She'd been there about 1 1/2 months and had probably lost some muscle mass. I've seen her getting stronger and able to jump higher since she's been home. She goes back to the vet for her booster shot in 2 weeks so at least I'll know if she's gaining weight or not.
Currently I am feeding her 2 of the 3 ounce cans of Iams food - 1 each for breakfast and supper. And 1/4 cup of Iams dry food (half before I go to work and half before bed). Plus a few 2 calorie treats a day. Like I said, she would eat more if I gave it to her. Does that seem like a good amount of food?
And is the Iams canned food? I did buy a couple Fancy Feast chicken pate today to try her on. Between those 2 brands is one better than the other?
