Hello all - I'm a brand new first time cat owner as of yesterday... a long time in the making. We're on a budget but I want to feed her as well as I can within the budget. We're thinking of doing a wet/dry combination... I'm thinking Orijen as dry food since it's very high quality and when I buy it in a giant bag it's less than $1/day. I'm looking at Dave's for wet food since it's pretty high quality for the cost. However, I'm noticing on the 12.5oz cans of wet food that the company's suggestion is 1/2 the can for a 6-8oz cat. My cat is 9lbs. After checking the website, this would be feeding her 600 kcals DAILY. This seems excessive, since from what I've gathered, she's supposed to be eating around 200 kcals daily. Am I missing something? She's 1-2 years old, not a kitten.
