How much Hill's Perfect Weight wet food for my 18lb cat's diet?

Question

I am putting my cat on a diet to shed a few pounds (he is around 18lbs right now). I am going to give him "Hill's Science Diet Adult Perfect Weight" canned wet food. My question is, how much of the canned wet food should I give him per day? Half a can in the morning and then the other half in the evening? These are 2.9-oz cans. I want to do what's best for him. I hate seeing him overweight and unhappy. Any advice you can offer would be so so great, as finding info online is very hard. Thank you. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 2 years and 5 months old | 18 lbs

Great job trying to help bear get to his ideal weight! Here is the link to the feeding guide for the adult perfect weight formula from Hills science diet website : https://www.hillspet.com/cat-food/sd-adult-perfect-weight-liver-and-chicken-entree-cat-food-canned I would start maybe by feeding 3 cans per day. 1 in the morning , 1 in afternoon, and 1 in evening. Or 1.5 cans twice daily. Then weigh him in 3-4 weeks and adjust the amount you are feeding from there. (If he s not starting to loose weight you may need to decrease to 2.5 cans for example) This is provided you are exclusively feeding him the canned food (ie no dry food also available). Good luck!! Bear will benefit from your efforts for sure.
