She is about 6 and a half months and she's eating 54 grams 3 times a day. Is it enough? Should I give her more?
I am assuming it is wet food? If so, 162 grams/day seems an appropriate amount for an adult cat. At 6 months, she is still growing, so she is having growth spurts and she needs to eat as much as she wants. When she'll be around one year old I would start measuring the quantities.

of they'reb all eating out of the same bowl you can'know how much any of them are eating.While I don't follow the "feed as much as they want"
guideline, I do feel 5.5oz may not be enough for a growing kitten, especially if you're feeding a lower calorie food. Does the can say how many calories it has?
My female (Also about 6mo) could easily eat 6-8 ounces per day on a canned only diet. I feed her in a "community bowl" with my other two cats (11mo an
males) and they get 5.5-6 ounces of canned each day along with 1-1.5 cups of kibble (Daily rations between all 3 cats, not individual servings. I start with 1 cup of kibble but they get an extra 1/2 cup overnight if they eat everything and still seem hungry) since I feed both types. If I were feeding them just canned food the boys would need about 7-8oz per cat, per day at their full size with the variety of foods I feed. Sally is probably about 5-6 lb, Pinball (11mo) has likely hit the 12lb mark and Oliver is roughly 10-11lb.
Does she act hungry or does she ever walk away from the bowl with food still in it? How is her weight?
