Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 3 years and 7 months old | 30 lbs
My cat hasn't been eating much after she got sick and got scrawny. Now that she is better I want to get her weight back up. Is there any way I can help her gain wait?

I would feed canned food twice a day and have a high calorie dry food available at all times. The calories are now on the bag so you can compare different food’s calorie content. Also limiting the amount of exercise, or time outside in the cold will help her regain the weight. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Sapphire.
