It depends on how old the cat is. If the cat is newborn to two months, don't feed it canned food. Infant kittens need their mother's milk. When the cat is three months to five months, one can to one and a half cans, but be sure to feed in very small but frequent meals. If the kitten is meowing fiercely, feed it one more can. When the cat is six months to one year old, two to three cans a day. When the cat is two years old and above, one and a half cans of food.

This of course depends on the quality of the food. The higher the meat content, the less you will have to feed as there would be more nutrients in it.

How much wet food for 9 lb cat?

Most people think the canned cat food is higher in calories than the dry cat food, which is incorrect. The dry cat food is far higher in calories. The canned cat food has lots of water in it. Read the labels on both types for moisture content. You need to feed a good name brand cat food, not some cheap generic brand you find in grocery stores. For the amount to feed your cat is difficult to answer without seeing your cat in person. Is your cat fat or thin? How active is it? Never free feed your cat by keeping food down in front of it all day long. Feed twice a day. Put down only the amount that your cat will clean up in approx. 10-15 minutes. After that time, pick up any left over cat food. You could also mix a little canned food in with the basic dry food. Keep an eye on the cat's weight.
