My apologies if this is seems to be an overly-simple question, but our cat is being tricky about this. We've got her on Wellness wet food, twice a day. Getting her to eat wet was a huge ordeal, and the only two flavors she'll eat are Turkey & Salmon and Chicken & Herring (I've heard that it's best to stay away from the fishy flavors, but we tried absolutely every flavor offered and she turned her nose up at all the others).
Audrey is an indoor cat, but pretty active. She races up and down the stairs regularly and plays with us a lot. We think she's about 11 pounds. This is about a pound and a half less than when we first got her a few months ago. She was a bit overweight at the time, so we're glad that she's trimmed down.
Here's the thing. Even with these two flavors that she liked, she was never that enthusiastic about eating. She used to go through about 6 oz a day, generally with a bit of leftover. If we gave her dry food she would devour it.
All of a sudden, just in the past few days, she has become ravenous. She would eat her breakfast and immediately start meowing for more. At this point she's eating about 8 oz a day without leaving any behind, and seems pretty happy with that. We were worried about this sudden increase at first, but are thinking that maybe she's just finally eating enough.
So what do you all think?
11 pound, indoor cat, pretty active, eating only Wellness wet. Any suggestions on how many ounces a day she should be getting?
