Feeding Amounts for Cats
Your cat’s consumption will depend in its weight and activity level. As a rough guide, an adult
cat will typically eat 4-6 ounces per day, so one ½ lb. pouch of our food would be enough for 11/2 to 2 days of meals. Of course, you should monitor your cat’s weight and adjust accordingly.
