Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I feed my cat?
Depends on weight, age, and activity. A 4kg adult cat needs about 200-280 kcal/day (60-80g dry food).
How often should cats eat?
Adults: 2 meals/day. Kittens: 3-4 meals/day. Some cats do well with controlled free-feeding.
Wet or dry food?
Both are nutritionally complete. Wet food has more moisture (good for hydration). Many vets recommend a mix.
How do I know food calories?
Check the package label for 'metabolizable energy' or kcal/100g. Dry food: 300-400 kcal/100g. Wet: 70-100 kcal/100g.
Should I adjust for neutered cats?
Yes. Neutered cats need 20-30% fewer calories. Use 'Indoor Adult' or 'Overweight' setting.
