How much should she be eating a day? She's 2 large breeds of cats that I know of, but she's a really small cat. What's the min and max she should eat.

If Holly is a small cat that isn't fat you can leave dry food out all the time for her to snack on. Smaller cats generally eat 1/2 can wet food twice a day or from 1/4-1/2 cup of dry morning and night.
