Does anyone know how much wet food is appropriate for an 11 lb. cat? She's not overweight &amp; not on a diet.How long will 24 cans go?

Let me add: I give each of our three about 2 tbspns of "wet" food in the morning, and the same amount in the evening. Sometimes they eat more than at other times.

My cats will not eat this by itself. I give them a 1/4 teaspoon in their wet food. They get about two tablespoons of wet food. I'm not sure how it mixes with dry food. Is having separate bowls an option for wet food?

I actually forgot ,but I can tell you ,if it says so ..must be 24...I remember I bought both the wet food described and also dry 9 lives ,but almost positive... if I had gotten less than promised ,it would have started my complaints ..and mumbling...I was very surprised to get what my cats eat..the classic seafood 3 variety in the picture.

You have a bit of a problem here. By the way, my finicky cat likes this stuff. This is given by weight of the cat. For my cat's weight around 12lbs. also she get a tsp mix in her soft food. I feed my cats differently for different ailments so I just keep a watch that they don't get into each others bowl. Hope this helps.

Mine is 9.5 months old. weights 6.6 lbs. and on average, she's eating between 1.25 and 1.33 cans per day. She's still growing so once she reaches one year, assume that will slow down somewhat.

If he's quite active and eats a lot, I doubt it would last very long! That would make it expensive to feed exclusively. How much canned food does he eat? I found that when reconstituted, my cat ate about the same amount of this as she did canned.

Laura K. I searched for an answer to no avail. I would steer clear of it. PS Cats don't really need fish.

I use my feeder for portion control and to get my cat to eat more frequently -- we are trying to get her weight down. I don't use the feeder for trips, like everyone seemed to who was answering this question. So for a 24-hr period, it works fine. Just add a bit of water into the wet food if you're concerned about it drying out a bitl

It is ok to mix it with their meal as long as it is a small amount. The back of the bag tells gives you it's recommendation as to how much is appropriate to feed your cat. Keep in mind that ideally, these are meant as treats for your pet.

I feed my cat about 3/4 cup dry food a day divided in 4 feedings per day. The feeder needs to be refilled each day, I do this every evening. It's worth it though, over 1 year my overweight cat lost 5 pounds and is much more active now. Using this feeder I'm able to feed my cat when I'm at work or running errands with a set amount and set time.

The previous two answers are correct about the size. As for how much my cats loved it -- not so much. Not sure why because it is loaded with fish of all sorts and they usually love fish. Also, two of the cans in my shipment were damaged enough that I had to throw them out. Not sure who is to blame for the poor packaging. Bottom line is that I won't be ordering any more of this brand.

Just put wet food in a small ziploc bag and leave it in the tray. The kitty will do the rest.

The feeder holds 1.5 gallons of food, or 24 cups.We buy Royal Canin Adult Cat and the feeder holds about half a 8.8 lb bag. The kibble might be lighter than some dog foods though, and I've seen the same feeder referred to as "6lb petite".I would think that the food would go stale in the feeder quicker than in a sealed container (e.g. lock'n'lock), so we only use this when traveling and never for more than 4-5 days.

I use fresh step scoopable multi cat for my two growing kittens. Whenever I notice that it's about half full, I lift it up and drop it a little to ensure the waste is compacted in there. With the fact that my kitties are growing, they "go" a LOT, so I find myself emptying the unit twice a week I'd say. I've actually gotten in the habit of scooping whatever is in there every time I use the bathroom. That's a bit off topic though, sorry :) Overall I'd say the bag weights 8 to 10 pounds when I remove it, and that guess is just by judging the weight of my cats when I hold them. They're from the same litter; one weighs 8 pounds and the other is 12 and a half. Hope that helped! I use fresh step scoopable multi cat for my two growing kittens.

I just ordered a case - same exact kind as before (which my cats loved). My older cat won't touch this new batch. - My kitten ate some of it and has had the 'runs' for two days. Does anyone know - will Amazon take the unopened cans back?

My cat is 14 years old, and very healthy and active, and looks very healthy, with a nice coat. She has never had a health problem. She's taken it forever. When I look at her, I think about taking it myself. (I'm also careful about what she eats, so that may be part of it)

I'm not sure. Maybe there's a customer service number on the company's website. You could call and ask them. I don't know what your cat's situation is, but personally, if I had a kitten who couldn't properly digest any other foods on the market and this food was his only chance, I would certainly feed it to him, but if he didn't like the food with water added to it as per the instructions, I'd serve it to him dry in a bowl but cut each of the kibbles in half so that the pieces are small enough for his mouth.
