I have a few weeks of data now since I purchased the handy-dandy scale that can weigh both food and cats.
Warning: This information may only be interesting to my fellow data geeks.
Farrell's weight has increased every week, but is now starting to increase at a decreasing rate.
As her weight has increased, the "% of body weight in food" she is eating has consistently decreased (which was my original query).
The average ounces of food per week has increased, until last week. I rotated from a lean turkey mix the previous week, to a fattier and higher calorie chicken mix last week. That accounts for the drop in ounces per day. She got full faster with the chicken mix. Average calories would be more useful than ounces of food, but my food rotations vary too much, so I doubt I'll be trying to calculate the calories per ounce in each mix.
