Electronic scales arent the most accurate however I did the trick where I weighed myself first then held my cat and gone on again. Exactly 9 pounds and she is about 7 months old.
As far as feeding, in the morning before I leave for work I make sure to fill her dry food bowl. When I come home for lunch she usually hasnt eaten or very little, but I feed her 1/3 of the small wet food can with a few dry kibbles mixed in. Around dinner time (6pm) she has gotten into the dry food throughout the day, but I also serve another 1/3 of the wet food so she doesnt both the wife and I while we eat. Before we go to bed, around 10:30pm, her dry food bowl is usually pretty empty, so I fill it some so she doesnt starve and go crazy overnight from having no food. However its mostly gone by the time I wake up. Then we do the same thing every day.
Being that she is about 9 pounds now and just turning 7 months old, Ive read here that the rule of thumb is 1lb per month old, so shes overweight going by that rule.
Am I maybe overdoing it on the dry food? Maybe I shouldnt fill it up before we sleep and just wait until the morning?
Any thoughts?
My mom sees my cat every couple of days and has mentioned that she's looking a little bigger. I wrote it off but maybe its true.
