Have you tried Purina Pro Plan?

It's the top of their food chain product. Only certain pet stores and
vets sell it. You'll see Purina One in supermarkets, but not Purina Pro
Plan. I don't know why since the price is really not that outrageous per
can. Iams, Nutramax, Eukanuba, or even Pro Plan is not much more per can
than Fancy Feast.

They got to be kidding???


Daily Feeding Guide
For weight maintenance, feed 1 can per 2-1/2 lbs. body weight daily.
For overweight cats, feed 1 can per 3 lbs. body weight daily.

so..... my 20 lb cat would get over 6 cans a day, and the two around 10 lbs
get another 4 cans between them. 10 cans a day times what, a buck a can?
$70/week or $3640/year (based on no weight loss in the fat cat, otherwise
reduce that by a couple hundred). It'd be cheaper to feed them Boars Head
turkey breast and salmon!

I've always wondered how the cat food manufacturers come up with these
feeding guides. It is not realistic at all! According to these
"guidelines" my 18 lb. cat would get 6 3oz cans a day and supposedly lose
weight. My cat would love to get 6 cans a day!

Granted, the smart person would feed his/her cat based on the cat and not
these guidelines, but the problem is, people read these guidelines and will
follow them. That's why there's so many fat cats out there.

So Buddha, at 13 pounds, would get four cans per day. No way!
She gets a single 3-oz can split into two portions and a cup of dry.
They're nuts.
