Hi,
We have a male, 2 year old Siberian cat that weighs 11 lbs. We have always wondered, based on what we read about his breed, if we should be increasing how much we feed him. He is always bothering us for more food, but we just didn't know if that was a cat thing or if we really should be giving him more. We have asked our vet a few times, but they think what we are doing is correct. I just worry that they really don't understand the breed.
For a long time we fed him two cans of ProPlan a day, plus dry food all the time. He barely nibbles at the dry food though. We have now been increasing it to about 3 cans of food per day with the same dry food regime. He seems to be happier and more content.
Wanted to make sure they we don't don't overfeed him, as we heard many times that cats can get overweight very easily and it can cause a lot of problems. But really I think, from what we read, that the increase in food is not a bad thing.
Thoughts?
