Okay, Both Loki and Possum are overweight, so I've put them on a diet.
Before, I fed each cat a 3 oz. can of Fancy Feast a day, but they didn't always eat all of it. I also fed them each about 3/8 of a cup of Purina One a day. With this, Loki has pretty much stayed at 14 lbs. and Possum has gained 2 lbs., but he was already about 2 lbs. heavier than he should be. (He's now about 11 lbs.)
Now, they get 1/3 of a cup (each) of the Purina One and 1.5 oz. of the Fancy Feast each.
I was looking at my cat book and it says that adult cats should have 13-28oz. of canned food a day. Is that right? That really seems like a lot of food a day.
So, am I starving my boys? Was I starving them before? If I was, then why were they gaining weight? I'm so confused.
