Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 years and 4 months old | 9 lbs
I have indoor outdoor cat and I feed him dry cat food and I found the instructions back of the dry cat food. So, I wonder, does the instructions back of the dry cat food is only for indoor only????

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The recommendations on any pet food label for feeding amounts are based on the average need of a pet cat. So there is a chance that if Neo is expending more energy by going outdoors that he may need more of the food to keep up with his calorie needs. However, it is not a problem to feed an indoor formula to an indoor outdoor cat.
