How do you feed your cat?

happysaz133

I've got two cats...one is 14 the other is 4. The 14 year old has 2 pouches of Whiskas or Felix per day (AM & PM), as well as unlimited access to a good quality dry food (we vary between Applaws, JWB, Meowing Heads & Vets Kitchen). The 4 year old has just one pouch per day (half in the AM and the other half in the evening), and about 40g of dry food.

They also quite regularly go next door to my parents house for chicken and Dreamies

ive a small cat that lives at mums, due to living on the 1st floor and on top of a main road and not trusting her to not play chicken with the road.
their is always a bowl of james wellbelloved turkey dried down for my indianna and sisters boy cat.
wet almost always on demand, the pair are fussy so try to stick to what prefered usually felix sachets. (crunchy crumble when i can get it on offer for my one as she loves it or certain flavours of the extra jelly felix). i think she prefers them due to being easier to eat with the cut of the meat and having a shorter nose, but loves the james wellbeloved.
indi is about 7, small and naturally saggy bellied like bag puss.
sisters cat a big boy. a moggy like indi but bigger in stature/size. he loves his wet food, and at 13 has pulled through a thyroid opp and is back to his 'old' self. a real pig for food.
both love fresh fish, cooked. but were trying to keep an eye on them as theyre not as slim as they could/should be.

I got 6 cats and they have good quality dry food out all times (full dishes) plus get wet sachets food 2-3 times per day.

I find it fascinating people weight/limit cat food - and then complain about being woken up by their hungry cats at some crazy time in the the middle of the night. My cats never wake me up - they do not need to.

My 2 are fed mainly raw, although Miss Fussy (that's not her name!) likes a bit of commercial cat pate mixed in with it.She would also love to be fed dry stuff but it doesn't agree with her.

We cannot demand feed as Mr Greedy (that's not his name either) would never stop. The vet thinks that is because he had to fend for himself a bit before we got him.

The little one does eat little and often but is put to bed with a good meal in the evening. Her weight is steady at 3.4kg.

The big lad gets 65g of raw twice a day with a tiny portion of dried for supper - this is usually given in such a way that he has to work for it a bit. This amount keeps his weight steady, he's just over 6kg.

They both drink water from the cat fountain. Little one, at the age of 14, has had bloods done and all is OK.

On demand but a usual day for my two indoor cats averages approx 450g of tinned food a day.

One of them also has free access to kibble (the other is on a wet-food only diet.)

The wet-food only cat is 23lbs and the wet/dry cat is about 9lbs. Neither is overweight.

23 lbs? That is massive:D. Is he/she a Maine Coon or something? Our late cat was 17 lbs but was overweight.

Do you have any photos
