How many grams of wet food should I give?
Hello, I have a tomcat and a cat, both 7 months old. I'm not sure how much wet food I should give my tomcat, who weighs about 3.5 to 4 kilos. He already eats quite a bit and meows often. I only feed him high-quality food like Mjamjam, Lucky Lou, and Catz Finefood, but I'm not sure how many grams I should give him. Could you please tell me how much I should give him?
I asked his vet and she said I should give him 150-200g of wet food 🤷
So it’s better for you to stick to a good brand, brands or Feed change can beat the animals to the stomach over time and in addition, each brand is different processed, so the digestion works somewhat differently depending on the content, that can be burdensome on duration (measures not counted)
Tastes can naturally vary.
Then it should be noted that you do not need kitten food for high quality cat food.
This is marketing. Kitten have exactly the same nutrient requirements as adult animals, only in larger quantities, but as long as kittens are allowed to grow as much as they have starving, this is really no matter, kittens may also become a bit pummely, only once they are grown out you pay attention to the line, of course it does not hurt to have an eye on it, you will notice the animals will be a bit thicker, you can reduce the amount as fry Kitten fodder is much more calorie-containing and can lead to weight gain, which is why adults should not be fed with kitten fodder, as it goes quickly on the hips.
Cat are stage eaters, good 5 small meals and more on the day Distributed works significantly better in cats, my eating on the day depending on between 5-9 small meals and that works excellent, especially since they are usually satisfied after small portions and don’t try to eat everything up, my cat, for example, would empty the whole bowl and eat as good as anything, so he gets several small portions, because if he goes out.
If the veterinarians are not nutritionalists and you cannot say how much cats should eat, because it also depends on the activity, a rotten cat naturally needs a little less than one that is much dead and e.g. out on the paws and explores the area.
As a young animal more than an adult animal.
In addition, depending on the activity level.
On the Internet you will find the following recommendations:
active & normal weight: 60kcal x kg/body mass(KM)= kcal daily requirement
moderately active & normal weight: 40-50 kcal x kg/KM = kcal daily requirement
barely active & overweight: 30kcal x kg/KM = kcal daily requirement (must be agreed with TA)
Suspicious and sick animals need correspondingly adapted energy values.
A young animal on devils come out around the clock to eat as much as it wants… the spirits divorce. Not only among animals, but also in science. Some mean “yes, absolutely, as much as the animal wants”, others mean “don’t make, otherwise predisposition for overweight”.
Yes, just some say “we can kitten as much as they want to eat” other “they should not get too much otherwise it leads to overweight”. My crater runs like crazy through the apartment and on some days he only sleeps all day .🤷
Here you have a kcal computer (something scroll down on the page), as many feed providers do not specify the energy density http://blog.landseer-im-web.de/ernaehrung/calorio.php This allows you to calculate the kcal from each feed using the analytical components. So you know + my calculations from above, how much wet food you can give him/herself/maybe. I feel enough for my part in a 4 kilo of cat 60kcal x 4 kg/Km=240kcal. These are about 1 1/2 200 grams of doses (sometimes roughly estimated). Then the fat vitamin paste is added (why you give it is not quite clear to me, because too high-calorie and if there is no need for it)+ some treats … ey, I find you/heid her well placed. 😀
I’ve made four more requests under your text. Please answer. By the way, 3.5-4 kilos of body weight is sufficient for a hangover with 7 months.
“Hab already replied” Thank you. You just got my final answer here in the message history + kcal-Rechner. Enjoy your cat!
I have answered
Look here, you can get it out of here:

the recommendation comes far too little for a young cat that is still growing!
Until they’re 12 months old, they should eat as much as they want.
But some say it leads to overweight and that should be bad

->Futter quantity for kittens
That’s not quite true. Science is also unified.
If you want to have picky fresses, garbage mills or constantly whining cats, you can naturally rationalize the feed.
At AYCE it is of course important to resort to high-quality foods.
The one feeds it m.E. To your statement with the “picky fress” etc. Mhm …. also I can’t say so generalized. My Leo (5) does not stop eating and begging without end when he gets for example “Kattovit Sensitive Chicken/Ente” bag. I have to feed him far beyond the recommendations, otherwise he does not give a rest. However, if I feed him “Kattovit Sensitiv Pute” 185 grams, then he reaches a can a day without begging + 10 grams of TroFu (same provider) as an activity incentive. Cats are – as we humans – every single individual and there are only rough guidelines that you have to align with/from your cat.
in the first year they may eat as much as they want
