Delilah seems to be putting on more weight. I adopted her at 7 pounds in April, last weighing with me on the scale was 10.5. She also seems to be more hungry.
Usually I feed her 1 "perfect portion" (Crave, Sheba, or Nutro) for breakfast, she has 3 spaced out kibble snacks (Crave Indoor) during the day in her timed feeder, a "perfect portion" for dinner, then she's ready to eat again 2 hours later, a few kibble at bedtime, and a late night snack (to keep her from waking me too early). Her kibble total is no more than 1/4 cup per day - I divide a measuring cup into her timed feeder.
Now, I did try wet in her timed feeder and she wouldn't eat it.
I'm wondering if perhaps she would be better with a larger wet portion (small can or pouch instead of a "perfect portion") for breakfast, cutting her daytime kibble to 1 midday (since she's mostly napping when I'm not home), a larger wet portion for dinner, and her late night snack. I would reduce her kibble to about 1/8 cup between midday and late night.
Would a larger wet portion keep her more satisfied?
