Based on another post of mine, I was wondering how much dry food everyone feeds their cats....
I didn't do an actual poll, because there are too many variables... so I was hoping ya'll could copy and paste the info below? I would appreciate it.

Age of Cat:
Quantity of Dry food:
Do you feed wet as well, if so, how much :

Thank you
I'm well aware that these answers will vary greatly, with age of kitty, food brands, etc. Also there will be variation due to the animal itself.....just because our kitties get fed more, doesn't nessecarily mean they will be obese...some kitties have higher metabolisms than others.
Of course, obesity is a concern of mine, in the long run. Right now it is not, because I believe kittens should be allowed to eat what they want... similiar to a baby, when my daughters were under a year old, I would not cut them off of nursing because they did it for hours at a time and people said my one daughter would get fat. Yes she was chubby, but as my BF coach said, she started off her life weighing 11lbs, she needs to eat alot to keep up to her grow curves... now she is a well built healthy 8yr old
I'm going to start keeping a feeding diary... it would be neat to see if I can see the kitties growth spurts
Thx.
