You can feed your cat wet food daily. Check the can or consult with your veterinarian for feeding recommendations. In general, you can feed an average-sized adult cat one 3-ounce can per 3 to 3-1/2 pounds of body weight daily. You should adjust this amount depending on whether you also feed your cat dry kibble.

Wet food comes in cans or pouches and many 8 week old kittens will need only about four ounces a day. Be guided by the manufacturers recommendations, and remember to give a little more if your kitten is a large breed. And remember that hunger is not a great indicator of need. Some kittens are very greedy.

One 5.5 ounce can a day is standard for an adult cat, but kittens can often eat twice that without blinking. You can, in fact, feed her as much as she wants of canned or raw foods until she's between eight to twelve months.

Typically, cats need between 3.5–4.5 ounces of water per 5 pounds of body weight per day. If you have a 10-pound cat, they should be consuming between 7–9 ounces of water, or about half an average bottle of water. The key word here is “consume,” since cats don't need to get their water just by drinking.

I've read a guideline is 1 oz per pound of body weight each day, so 6lb cat would need two 3oz cans. But for wet food, I'd not worry about weight as much. Feeding wet food 100% is more than half the battle when it comes to weight loss, and you may notice them losing weight regardless.
