Given that Cinnamon is overweight, I would leave food out for him twice a day. Feed him according to the package instructions on the food, and divide it into two equal portions. You can start giving Cinnamon wet food, as it has fewer calories due to it's higher moisture content. Just be sure to cut down on the dry food you give him. I recommend feeding Cinnamon a high quality cat food, such as Royal Canin or Hill's Science diet.

He should be fed twice a day. If he is overweight than you should pick a reduced calorie food and feed the amount that is recommended on the food. Dry food is ok, if that is the type he likes to eat.
