How much food should my cat eat daily? Am I feeding too much?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Do I feed my cat the right amount of food or do I feed her too much? She’s 4.5-4.6 kg and i feed her 3 cans of friskies wet food (pate or shredded) per day. No dry food. She’s maintained her weight well. Sorry for asking too much questions. This is my first cat I’ve owned ever :D

If she is maintaining a healthy waist line, then you are probably feeding her the correct amount. Just like humans, pet's weights are determine by how many calories they eat and how much exercise they get in a day. Here is a link to help monitor her waist line: https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-do-i-determine-if-my-cat-is-overweight/ I hope this helps!!
