I have two cats, one is adult (12 lbs) and the other is almost 4 months (6 lbs). At the moment, one can (5.5 or 6 oz) of wet food per day is all I can afford between them (so ~ 3 oz per cat per day). How much dry food should I supplement this wet food with? The TOTW dry food says feed 1/2 a cup per day if doing a full dry diet.
I can't simply do grazing because that's what I do right now, and they always end up eating too much dry food overnight and they barely touch their wet food in the morning. What I do now is feed them half a can of wet at noon, then when I take their plates away at 1pm, I pour them each 1/4 cup dry. Their second wet meal comes between midnight and 1am, with 1/4 cup of dry put in their bowls before I go to bed. It's much more economical to use less dry food than it is to throw away excess wet food every day, so any help figuring this out would be appreciated: both by me and my wallet.
