I don't know if I'm over/under feeding

Soots looks like he's lost a little bit of weight not much he just feels a little lighter, he's playing fine drinking fine etc

They get 3 wet meals a day morn, noon, night a pouch each which is 100grams a pouch and dry to graze on.
They get whiskers wet and dry

When you say a pouch each, do you mean one pouch per cat per meal, one pouch split between them per meal, or one pouch per cat per day?


100 g is about 3 oz for you non science majoring americans lol. I had so much science in undergrad that I recognize celsius before fahrenheit, so don't feel that I am talking down by explaining that, I always assume people hate converting from metric.

You want to feed about 35 - 65 g for every 1 kilo your cat weighs. 300 g per day with free feeding dry sounds about right. Do they finish off the dry every day? Is another cat eating most of the dry? If soots is a bigger cat and doesn't graze on the dry as much then I would look into adding another pouch to his diet. Or maybe buy a can to add so you can split it up to supplement multiple meals over days and don't have to add an entire pouch per day, since that would be like you or I eating breakfast brunch lunch and dinner instead of just adding an afternoon snack

They eat about as much each other soots probably a bit more than flash

As long as I know I'm giving them the right amount I'm happy I keep second guessing myself

Thank you
