My cat keeps meowing for food after eating. Is she still hungry?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I fed my cat two full cans of the hills science ones, the smaller ones, and my cat keeps meowing for more.. I fed her another half and she still meows for more. This is in less than an hour .. why does she keep wanting food I’m not sure if it’s healthy to feed her a large amount in a short period of time

:D She is training you to get more food! Lots of cats have no hunger off switch and they will eat until they are utterly stuffed. Depending on her weight and the particular food, two cans per day may be the recommended feeding amount, and any more than that could cause obesity.
