Although I didnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t grow up on a farm, both of my parents did. They told me when I was younger that if you kept feeding a cow it would eat and eat until it killed itâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s self, and that you could only give a cow __(blank)__ amount of food (donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t know the amount) a day.
So my question is, are cats like cows?
Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]ve never had a cat before and this whole experience with Sonny, the 6 month old kitten and love of my life has been very strange, while eye opening. On the bag of cat food it says 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup of food a day. I give him about that much and he goes crazy... he eats it all in about a half hour. Iâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]m afraid to give him more because I donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want him to get too fat. (Seeing fat cats around the neighborhood upsets me, its like their owners donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t care about them and it shows by how slow and unhappy the poor kitty is!)
What do I do? Should I feed him more? Should he just have to deal with only getting 1/3 of a cup a day? Please help!
Thanks, Trina!
