Hope this answers your questions:

How much dry food do you go through a month?
About 900 g. per cat. That's roughly 2 lbs.

How many cats do you have?
One 6.3 kg. male (about 14 lbs), plus one "moocher", i.e. our neighbor's 7 kg. (15.5 lb.) female.

What dry food do you feed? Currently Orijen, Prairie's Raw Instincts, Eagle Pack Holistic, and Feline Porta 21. There are several other brands I use, too, but nothing from the supermarket/regular pet store. I buy from online specialty stores.

Do you also feed wet food? If so, How much a day?
In addition to 30 g. (1/4 cup) of dry food, I feed one 80 g./3 ounce can of an all meat/and or fish wet food.

That's what I was thinking when I posted, as the quantity depends so much on the brand of food, as well as the age, activity level and size of the cat.

I feed Innova, Eagle Pack, & Nutro MAX cat for the housecats. I go through....4-6 lbs a month collectively? That is for 6 cats. Then I got Molly. She's a pig & threw my calcuatlions off. I also feed wet, but I do not keep track of how much of that I go through as I feed 7 outdoor cats that as well, plus a fer strays & ferals.

Not sure this is really meant for me as I feed mostly wet food, but I'll answer anyway


How much dry food do I feed per month - about 600g

How many cats do I have - 2

What dry food do I feed - James Wellbeloved, Orijen

How much wet food - Mosi has 150g wet per day plus approx 20g dry - I sprinkle the dry on top of the wet. He has 3 meals like that a day. Jaffa eats all wet.

Me too.


How much dry food do you go through a month?

I would guess about 1lb (it's for treats)

How many cats do you have?


8 cats

What dry food do you feed?

Right now, Wellness Chicken and CORE

Do you also feed wet food? If so, How much a day?

They average 5-6oz/day. 2 of them eat raw (3-4oz each). Between the 8 of them, they eat about 29-35oz wet per day, plus 7oz raw.

We gave up dry food earlier this year. My old answers might be more helpful to you....

How much dry food do you go through a month?

20lbs

How many cats do you have?


8 cats

What dry food do you feed?

At the time, Science Diet C/D (prescription urinary food)

Do you also feed wet food? If so, How much a day?

At the time, the 8 cats split one 5.5oz can of C/D wet per day.
