Thread: how much to feed this beast?

I used to be all for raw food and nothing else until my supplier sent a dodgy batch which gave my lot food poisoning and caused dietary problems in all of them that was to last for 3 months.....

I now feed James Wellbeloved biccie, pretty much free feeding although if they are being piggies then the bowl doesn't get refilled. They then have raw minced rabbit twice a day and occasionally applaws wet food or Pets at home purely wet food - I would never feed a dry only diet and I have noticed that even though they do get wet food too, they all still drink a lot. They also wee a lot though so I guess it balances out!!!

None of mine are fat or overweight - the females are far more lean and slender than the males and I find that the males are just solid and stocky. I can still faintly feel ribs and spine and hips when I stroke them firmly.

I try not to worry too much about the guidelines as I find that sometimes it is too much and sometimes not enough - if your cat is a good weight then the feeding regime is obviously fine. If they are slender or scavenging for other food then I would say up the amount a little, but not too much. Having said that, mine have biccie down most of the time and yet I still find them on the worktop licking the crumbs and investigating the dishes in the sink....!
