How much food for a 1-year-old cat losing weight and appetite?

Question

Sorry I forgot to ask, Regarding kovu having decreased appetite and losing weight, how much should a 1 year old cat eat? He used to eat 5 or more ounces wet food and 1/2 cup dry food a day. With his decreased appetite he eats no Dry food and anywhere from no wet food, to 1 and 1/2 ounces twice a day. The most he’s eaten since he’s been losing weight was yesterday and he ate 2 1/2 ounces wet food twice. Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Male | neutered | 1 year and 1 month old | 11 lbs

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is actually more based on the weight than the age per se. If Kovu is really 7 pounds like your profile says, he should be eating about 250 to 300 calories per day to gain weight. The caloric content can be easily found in the can or bag of food or online. Good luck and have a great day!
