My cat is always hungry and gaining weight. What should I feed her?

Question

My cat eats a lot but never seems to get enough. I can't leave dry food out for her because she will eat it all at once. She has gained a little bit of weight since I brought her home from the shelter in June. I don't want her to get fat. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 8 lbs

Feed your kitty wet(canned) food twice daily (1/2 a 3.5 oz can twice daily) and give her a little bit of dry food in a meal-dispensing cat toy that makes her work for getting the dry food and works against boredom. Some cats are obsessed with food. Regular feeding at certain times will reduce that. And you need to be firm and not feed her when she begs.
