How much food should I feed my chubby cat to help her lose weight?

Question

I am not sure how much I should be feeding my cat in the morning and at night. I've noticed my cat has been looking a little chubby and I'm pretty sure the reason why is because she tries to eat my other cat's food as well. But from now on I am going to monitor them and make sure she just eats her food. But I'm still not sure how much in measurements I'm supposed to give her. She's about to be one years old and I'm pretty sure she weighs around 10 to 12 pounds. She eats Blue Buffalo. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 9 months and 19 days old | 4 lbs

Hello and thank you very much for your question. This answer may seem simple but it’s very practical. First, you must decide how much you believe your cat should ideally weigh. please ask your veterinarian to give your cat a body condition score and ask them what is the appropriate weight for your breed and physical make up of your pet. Second, once you find out that ideal weight, you will look on the back of your bag of food and it will show you exactly how much to feed that pound of an animal. so for instance, and 8 pound cat will get a certain amount of food daily that can be divided either into two or three different individual feedings. I hope that makes sense. Thank you very much for reaching out to our service.
