Hi all!
As the title suggests, I'm a new cat owner and am trying to do the best I can for the little (well, big!) furballs. I've adopted two large breed cats who are already 14lbs and 20lbs respectively.
I've been reading so much conflicting information about how much to feed them. after a bad experience to wet food, we've got them on dry-only. Due to our work schedules we are currently feeding them 2x a day - 6am and 6pm. We've tried free-feeding but that wasn't a success since the bigger cat (boy) doesn't know when to stop
So the big question here is, how much should I be feeding them at each mealtime? a cup? a half cup? three quarters? The recommendations I read on cat food bags only seem to apply to smaller cats, and I don't want to deprive them of course
We are currently in process of switching them from Meow Mix over to Blue Buffalo - slowly but surely over the next two weeks (we know they have sensitive stomachs when we switch the food any faster than that). My understanding is taht with the Blue Buffalo I will feed them a lesser quantity due to the content of the food.
Any help, suggestions, would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much
