I'm worried I'm feeding my girl too much or too little, and want to be able to determine how much she should be getting.
Currently, I feed her a diet of Simply Nourish Grain-Free dry, and Sheba wet. She gets one of the perfect portions (1.3oz) of Sheba morning and night, and usually ends up not eating a whole thing in one sitting. Then, I free feed some of her dry for her to munch on while I'm gone for the day.
This is the dry food she's eating, with the Caloric count at the bottom:

I've never seen kcals before, so I'm a bit confused by them! I saw in another thread on here that cats should get 100+kcal/lb, and by that measure, it seems I'd be giving her more than a cup of dry daily!
Please help me figure this out! How do I translate kcals, and how much should she be getting daily? She was right around 9 lbs at the vet last month.
