Hi,
I got a new cat a few months ago. The people I got it from said it was a stray when they got it, so they do not know for sure what kind of cat it is, but it looks like he is mostly Maine Coon.When we first got him, he weighed 13 lbs. We took him to the vet yesterday and he gained 2 lbs. just since we got him. So, the vet told me to give him indoor or weight control food. I was giving him 1 cup per day of Iams original dry food. I looked at the Iams indoor and weight control food, and the first ingredient is chicken by products, instead of just chicken. So, I am looking for something else to feed him that is for indoor cats and won't cost a fortune and has chicken as the first ingredient. Does anyone know of a good brand? What about Authority brand indoor formula? Is that a good one? Also, how much should I feed him per day? If I decide to give him some wet food, too, how much wet food and how much dry food per day? Do Maine Coons need more food than other cats? Thanks!
