The best plan would be to weigh your cat and use the info on the packets to work out her daily intake if she was on just try or just wet food. If you give her half of the wet amount and half of the dry it will work out as a daily ration. I would leave the dry out for her then feed the wet nice and fresh once or twice a day.

Noushi can eat a mix of both wet and dry, or she could eat the dry alone. Each brand of food has a different daily recommended allotment of food, so I would read the instructions on the bag to determine how much dry food she should have daily. If you are doing to mix in the wet food, feed half the daily recommended amount of dry food and add in at least half of the daily recommended amount of wet food. Best of luck, I hope this helps!

Great question! I personally leave dry food out all day for my cats so they can graze when hungry, but since one of them is pretty fat, it's likely not the best idea lol. The other two cats are skinny though. You can leave a set amount of dry food out during the day for Katniss to eat when hungry, and give her some wet food in the morning and night. I hope this helps!

There is no blanket statement answer to your question. It depends on what food you are feeding. Every food has a different amount of calories per cup of dry food or for each can of food. Also, is the cat is her normal weight now or is she overweight? You should feed according to the instructions on the packaging using the feeding guide for her ideal weight range. If you would like to post again with photos of the foods you are feeding then we can maybe help you more.
