I know that foods are sold by weight and not by volume, but is there some general rule of thumb as to how many teaspoons are in a can of cat food? And what is the maximum amount of time you should allow between meals?
We usually just 'eyeball' how much Buddy has eaten when we record the info in his daily journal and estimate his calorie intake. But now that he's going through a bit of a rough patch, we're trying to be a little more precise to help us figure out when he needs to be assist fed.
Also, Buddy has been eating four times a day pretty much ever since we took him in, which presents all sorts of logistical issues. So we'd like to try cutting that back to maybe two or three times a day, and were curious about how long your cats go between meals when you only feed them wet food. :-)
Thanks much!
