How often should you feed your cat?

Answer 1

Small portions 2-3 times per day.

How often you feed a cat again depends on the cat. Most healthy adult cats do well with two meals a day; one in the morning and the second in the evening. Kittens, young cats and particularly small cats will need feeding more often in smaller amounts as their stomachs are smaller and cannot take in too much food all in one go.

Answer 2

Kittens require more food per pound of body weight to support their growth, and therefore must be fed throughout the day through small but frequent meals. When your cat becomes an adult, once or twice a day is appropriate.
