how many meals?
How many times a day do you all feed your cats? My cats seem to be less
interested in breakfast but down their dinner with no problem. They get a 5.5 oz can per meal and some dry. They are 6 and 2, very active and have great check-ups. Barb |

Two meals per day, about 12 hours apart. After 20 minutes or so, I
take away the plates and no food until next meal (though they are almost always empty). I feed wet (canned and raw), NO dry. |

Three meals a day (multiple flavors of Fancy Feast) plus dry treats ('elevensies') just before my bedtime. Also they (seven cats) have round-the-clock dry food to munch on whenever they like, plus several water bowls, refreshed daily. I'm spoiling them? You bet, and we all love it. |

The problem with dry food is that it isn't "spoiling" them. Cats should not have carbs. There is a much higher incidence of diabetes and other health problems in cats that are fed dry food. Mine get Wellness canned food twice a day, 12 hours apart. They also get occasional treats, but they are healthy treats that the cats also love--their favorite is chicken Liv-A-Littles (freeze dried chicken). MaryL |

A cat that munches all day could easily become a overweight. Twice a day is considered optimum, so it isn't necessary for a cat to munch in-between. MaryL |

How many times a day do you all feed your cats? My cats seem to be less interested in breakfast but down their dinner with no problem. They get a 5.5 oz can per meal and some dry. They are 6 and 2, very active and have great check-ups. I feed mine in the morning. But really it's highly individual. Some like to graze throughout the day and don't overeat; others either prefer one or two meals or can't be trusted if the food is constantly available. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |

She had fantastic references, and she is just as fantastic as everyone said. I have used the same petsitter every year for the last six years (sometimes more than once a year). I would *never* leave my furbabies unattended. It doesn't matter if food is out, or not--any manner of emergencies could occur, and they would not be taken care of if there is no one available to observe and take action. MaryL |
