How much wet and dry food should I feed my kitten and adult cats?

Question

Hi, I have an almost 6mo old MCkitten. He eats about 4x 100g pouch a day. He refuse to eat dry food and the past few days he trying to eat my other cat's food as well. Could you please tell me what's an appropriate amount to feed a kitten and also adult cats? I think I did overfeed my now adult cats. On the box the guidelines are quite misleading here. They say that 4 pounch in 2 meals but they never say whether that's if they eat only wet food or that amount should be given beside dry food. Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 17 days old | 9 lbs

The bags usually over estimate the amount of food animals need. I would recommend feeding about 75% of what's on the bag/instructions IF that's the only thing your cat is eating. If they are eating half wet and half dry, decrease the amount proportionally. Another (easier) approach, is to ask your veterinarian for a recommended calorie count for each cat. Most adult cats need about 200 calories per day and young, intact cats need anywhere from 2-3 times this amount.
