Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere. Is there a standard formula for working out the number of calories a cat should consume?
I’m actually trying to figure out how many calories my kitten should be consuming and so I know they require more than an adult cat, but also to find a way to calculate as he goes forwards in life.
Hes currently 3.7kg and a week shy of being 8 months old. I’ve allowed him to kind of eat as much as he wants this far but I do feel now he’s getting older that I’d like to get more control so that his weight is never an issue. He is a russian blue and I’ve read that they can be very good orientated and so prone to weight problems.
I’ve googled a lot but tbh there seems to be vastly different suggestions and also the amounts vary wildly from one food manufacturer to the next. So I thought I’d ask the very knowledgable people here.
thanks for your time
