I do think 1 cup per day of dry food is enough for a 2 year old cat. If orieo is getting skinny you can add in wet food. However if Oreo is sick the food will not help him gain weight. I would try and keep tract of his weight at home and if not improving take him to a vet for an exam. Sometimes parasites can cause weight loss in a younger cat.
