12 mls through a couple of feedings is not nearly enough, and people
often mistake the amount that fits into the large syringes for a good
amount because it looks like more than it really is. It's better to
measure the amount of food the cat requires *before* feeding and use the
syringe as the mode of feeding rather than the measurement. The OP
should try to get *at least* one 6 oz can of food into the cat each day
to avoid having the cat develop hepatic lipidosis. Depending on the
consistency of the food it can take anywhere from 12 to 15 full 12 ml
syringes to equal this amount. I use a Braun hand blender and puree a 6
oz can all at once and use it all over the course of one day. Two jars
of chicken or turkey baby food is about equal to that amount as well.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
