I am trying to learn as much as I can to give my 11 yr old cat at probably 18 lbs (at least) the right amount of food. I thought 3 3 oz cans would be the right amount but after looking up the calories of the Fancy Feast and the Friskies I am feeding him I need to cut back.
I am mixing about 1/2 can of FF in the Friskies each day. I can't afford better food for him and I will have to supplement some dry so this will complicate matters but I am concerned about how much canned food at the moment.
I have been re using the empty FF cans and filling them up each night for the next day but feel this is probably not accurate. Am I going to have to get a kitchen scale? Do any of you measure your food like that or what would you suggest. Since I buy the larger cans of Friskies it is hard to estimate how much to give him.
