Quick answers to common questions from cat parents

It depends on weight, age, activity level, and food type. A typical 4kg adult cat needs about 200-250 kcal/day โ€” roughly 55-70g of dry food or 200-250g of wet food. Use our calculator for a personalized recommendation.

Most adult cats do well with 2 meals per day (morning and evening). Kittens under 6 months need 3-4 smaller meals. Senior cats may also benefit from more frequent, smaller portions. Consistent meal times help regulate digestion.

Both have pros and cons. Wet food provides essential hydration and is closer to a cat's natural diet. Dry food is convenient and helps with dental health. A mixed diet (some wet, some dry) is often recommended by vets as the best balance.

If you can't feel your cat's ribs easily, they may be overweight. Reduce portions by 20% and consider switching to a weight management formula. Use our calculator's 'Overweight' setting to get adjusted portion recommendations.

Free-feeding works for some cats but can lead to obesity, especially in less active cats. Measured meals give you better control over portions and let you monitor appetite changes โ€” which is important for early detection of health issues.
