How Much Should A 3.5 Kg Cat Eat. Many wet foods come in three-ounce cans and recommend feeding approximately one can a day for every three to three and a half pounds of body weight. Even though you find feeding instructions on almost every bag of cat food you can buy the instructions are useless.
Lots of cats will self-regulate their eating so you can leave out the total recommended portion of food for the day and allow them to revisit their bowl. If your cat seems extremely hungry and is not gaining weight its acceptable to increase the amount you feed. Average male domestic short hair cats can weigh anywhere from 10 to 12 pounds or 45 to 55 KG.
It depends on the food.
Cats are natural grazers and will eat 15 to 20 very small meals a day. A rule-of-thumb for calorie requirements for a normal adult cat is 20 to 33 calories per pound depending on their energy level. As your cat matures maintain good feeding habits and avoid stress by letting it eat in peace in a calm place. A body condition score is a more accurate assessment of a cats ideal weight as this takes into account the cats overall build and size.
