I have a one year old cat ( just turned one), and I feed her one small can of wet food in the morning around 7:30, and another can around 3:30 in the afternoon. Then I feed her some dry food around 7 PM ( small amount, maybe a couple of tablespoons full). The reason for the dry food, is she meows like she is starving, when I start making my dinner. Her weight is around 9 pounds 9 ounces, up 2 oz from when I weighed her a few weeks ago.
My question is this, should I wait until my dinner time to give her the second can of wet food and skip the dry food altogther? Is it normal for a cat to meow alot like she is hungry which could result in me over feeding her and her gaining too much weight. In her first checkup with the vet last month, they said her weight was fine at 9 pounds 6 ounces, and they told me the two small cans of wet should be fine, and dry wasn't necessary. Don't want to overfeed her but don't want her to feel like she is starving either.
