My 3kg cat eats all her new food at once. Is she still hungry?

Question

I currently feed Luna 1/2 cup per day of this new food. She weighs 3kg, is that the right amount? Because with this new food she pretty much eats all of it at once when I give it to her, but with her old food she'd eat about half, and then eat the rest later. I'm worried she's still hungry. Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | spayed | 1 year and 1 month old | 8.2 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. First off, is she at a healthy weight and fairly active? Or do you feel she is sedentary and may be prone to weight gain? If she is lean, you can feed up to 3/4 cup per day. I would sprinkle small amounts of this pre-measured amount into her dish throughout the day to encourage her graze and not finish it all at once. You can also take kibble from this pre-measured amount and hide pieces around the house. This encourages a cat's normal hunting behavior. If you place kibble on high surfaces she will have to jump. This gives her extra exercise. Change up the hiding places to keep her engaged. If she is overweight, then I would only feed 1/2 cup per day. I hope this information helps!
