My last cat was 40 pounds when I adopted him at the age of 9-years. The previous owner gave him ad-lib hard food. It was very difficult to bring his weight down to 25 pounds, but I did.
Now I have a new cat, just 10-months. The vet said to give him 2 cans of food (the small 3 oz cans), but he cries endlessly, so I give him 3 cans. He still cries.
If I gave him food every time he cried he would wake me at least three times a night, and I'd be up to 5 cans. I'm afraid he's going to get fat like my old cat, or that m starving him.
So ... What is the right amount of food for him? He is about 12 pounds now, and shows normal activity.
