We wish we had a simpler answer here, but there is no ideal formula for how much and how often to feed your cat.
You’ll want to feed your feline for optimal growth, or to maintain optimal body weight. This will differ from cat to cat. For example, some cats have more sensitive stomachs than others and will require different quantities and a totally different feeding schedule than others.
How much and how often you feed your cat also depends on their age and overall health. Kittens have different percentage requirements for nutrients (as we’ve already discussed above) and may benefit from more frequent, smaller meals to help with growth and the maintenance of blood sugar.
