My cat suddenly started eating wet food. I’m happy about that.
However, I noticed that many brands have bizarre feeding guidelines. I’ve seen some that recommend feeding SIX 3 OZ CANS PER DAY for a 12 lb cat! I understand this might be based on calories or the assumption that the cat is large but not overweight but...18 oz a day? Seriously?
Thoughts? I don’t want to risk hepatic lipidosis for my obese cat but feeding by some of these guidelines seems unbelievable sometimes. For what it’s worth, 6 oz a day hasn’t made her any slimmer in the month or so that she’s been on wet food.
