Answer: IF YOUR Cat weighs from 8 - 12 pounds, here are my recommendations. If you want him to lose weight, feed him 3/4 of a cup a day. If you want him to maintain his weight, feed him 1 cup a day. If you want him to gain weight, feed him anything between 1 - 1 1/2 cups.

Answer:

To expand on the first answer, this really does depend on your cat, and what the quality of food is. Smaller, lighter cats will naturally eat less, whereas a bigger or bulky cat will eat more. That said, a cat will eat far more if fed a lower quality food to get the nutrition it needs, and less if fed a premium quality food.

The best way to find out how much you should feed YOUR cat is to keep an eye on his or her weight. You can do this by weighing him once a week to see if he gains or loses weight, or feeling for any extra layers of fat over his ribs. Be sure to consult a veterinarian first in order to find out the cat's weight and health.
