I've had a cat since August. She's almost 9 months old now. There are tons of feeding instructions online. My cat gets 100g of high-quality wet food in the morning, two servings of dry food from the dispenser (14g) at lunch, and the remaining 100g of wet food in the evening. She also gets a few snacks in between. She's a strictly indoor cat. What do you think, is this an acceptable amount?

Loading...Why don't my tomcats get along anymore after the younger one was neutered? The older one has been neutered for two years.
What do you think of pet owners who keep cats on leashes and walk them? Sometimes the leashes are very long. But I always think they're kept on a leash like dogs. Is this even animal-friendly, because in my opinion, it's weird to keep a cat on a leash, right? Thanks for your contributions!
I don't understand why the first 4 things are checked at the top (on the 1st page) but only the rabies vaccination is listed (page 2). Can someone tell me exactly
For a few days now my cat has been gagging in a strange way, as if she were going to vomit, but she isn't actually puking. She isn't licking me anymore either. What does that mean?
Hey dear ones, My female cat went into heat for the first time a few days ago. Does anyone have any tips to help my female cat calm down? First of all, she is just 9 months and 2 weeks old and she is already barking a lot. We also have a neutered tomcat, but…
Hello, for a little over a month now my house cat has been throwing up every day. Not as much in the last few days. If she eats, she throws up; if she hasn't thrown up, she hasn't eaten anything. It's a vicious circle. I go to the vet several times a week and have…
Hello,
A cat with 9 months and normal movement requires 60 kcal per kilo of body mass/day.
Calculation: 60kcal x Weight = kcal/energy density/day. This includes everything: wet food + dry food + leak.
Since the manufacturers often do not specify the energy density, you can use the LiW calorie calculator calculate your own and then assemble your feed rations in a targeted manner.
Cats need 50-70ml liquid per kilo of body mass/day.
Calculation: 70ml x weight = fluid requirement/day.
Wet foods usually contain between 70-80% moisture per 100 grams. The remainder must then be fed in via water or cat scales.
With these calculations, you are well equipped and can always calculate the energy density and fluid requirements for your cat, regardless of feeding recommendations.

Oh, wow. You can calculate that correctly. Thank you.
Thank you for the yellow star! 🙂 I wish you, your family and your cats happy Easter.
Right! Great, right?! So you are independent of any recommendations that often do not even vote.
In the search you will also notice exactly which feed is now good. Because wet foods with over 100kcal/100Gramm satin well and are long-lasting. The least have so much kcal. Most move around the 80-95kcal.
That’s what our cat gets, now she’s a little older, but that’s what happened at 9 months. But look that you might reduce the number of snacks, I suppose you’re talking here mainly of these delicious strands and extra serving grains, something. Before all these bars and others make very thick. Ours might get one or two times a week like this.
Also remember to react accordingly if you notice that the cat becomes visibly thinner or thicker. But be careful not to confuse with the in- and down-name of the coat thickness in spring and autumn.
As a treat she gets a couple of pieces from the Mjamjamjam snackbags or a freeze-dried shrimp
Is she too thick? Or too thin?
Do not make science from it, but see if the cat is full and does not accept or decrease.
I would replace the dry food with wet food, it has only (health) disadvantages.
A young cat with us has crushed up to 600g of wet food a day with 6 months and was not fat, she needed it. That’s why I don’t think of general calorie data.
Grob you can orient yourself to what is on the packaging and then adjust it.
She’s when she’s normal fat. But if they fall around, they may partly be like a ton ^^
I give her the dry food because I can give it over the food machine. You are also working during the day
If she’s not too thick, the crowd is okay. Dry food generally makes thicker than wet food.
There are feeding machines with cooling for wet food. Dry food is really harmful in duration (can also be good for 14 years and then suddenly…).
But an apartment cat, which is alone during the day, should actually also have a fellow. Cats in general should not be alone.
You don’t touch the cat, unfortunately. Only rarely do cats show it very obvious. The cat would have used a con artist directly after the reconciliation. Please don’t leave the cat alone. No reputable position conveys young cats alone, that has its reasons!
If you’re not gone all day: give a small portion in the morning, then your partner before he goes, then when you come home and then of course later. Then it doesn’t need a machine and no dry food.
I know she needs a second cat. She was found alone with 8 weeks. I wanted to try if it’s okay. I only work until 2:00 and my partner goes out of the house at 11:00. I’d get a 2nd cat if I noticed she’s deadly.
Animals just like people react differently, cradle them just from time to time and then you see if they are laying or not.
