How much should cats eat?


This varies. Average cats may eat between 20-30 calories per pound per day. But note that that is IDEAL pounds. Using 25 calories per day for example, an 8 pound cat could eat 200 calories per day. By the same token, a cat who weighs 20 pounds but should weigh 10 could eat 250 calories per day. You multiply the ideal weight by the calories to arrive at that figure. When working toward weight loss, it's perhaps best to start at the lower end of the scale (20).
If you are serious about making food for your cats at home, you need to learn about feline nutrition.





See www.catinfo.org, a website run by a vet - she has the basics of nutrition there and a recipe. Please note that it is VERY important to make a properly balanced food, and that fat is not an issue for most cats. For more indepth info see http://maxshouse.com/feline_nutrition.ht鈥?/a>





oh, and caloric intake depends on a lot of things but range between 10 and 30 calories per pound of cat.
70-80kcal per kilo (2.2lb) of bodyweight per day.





The best cat food recipes come ready made and sold in tins, pouches and bags. You can find them in Pets at Home, but not in supermarkets - supermarkets only sell the burger and fries version of catfoods.





Seriously you're better off choosing your cats a decent quality catfood, both canned and dry. It's not just calories, you also have to know all the required daily amounts of all essential nutrients and, harder still, minerals. By the time you've calculated all this and then figured out how much of each is in each different foodstuff your cat cat could've died of starvation so go to PetsMart and start looking!
