I recently adopted two cats, and in their previous home they never had a consistent feeding schedule. Since they were outdoor-indoor cats they come in and go out as they please, and if they were hungry they would probably come up to you and meow. They always had dry food on the side to snack on, and we would feed them wet food when they "asked". The wet food and dry food is something I've kept up since they've arrived at my home (around 3 weeks).
Recently I've been rethinking their feeding schedule and diet. Since I work Monday - Friday 8:30AM - 4:30PM, I usually feed their first meal (of wet food) at 6:30AM/7AM, and I don't get to feed their second meal until i get home which varies - sometimes 4:45PM, sometimes 5:30PM. (I try to get home as soon as possible.) As mentioned previously, they do have dry food out to snack on if they get hungry.
So here are the questions!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

So here are the questions!
- Since we want to try and cut down on carbs consumption, if I removed the dry food from their schedule would they have enough to eat?...
- What is the "ideal" feeding schedule (understanding that it varies for every cat). 6:30AM/7AM, 4:45PM/5:30PM, 11PM?
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
