Answer #1

I agree with everyone above. But I’ve noticed my cat gets fat every winter (putting on weight as well as thicker fur) and then slims down every summer. Apparently this is natural, to keep them warm. So if you feed you cat the right amount, don’t worry about a bit of weight gain in the winter.

Answer #2

Talk to your vet with your concerns and follow his advice. Then Don’t let her snack, or if you use food as a reward for training, that has to come out of her daily allotment. She will beg like mad at first. Otherwise you will just have to put up with a fat cat.

Answer #3

Dry food twice a day, wet food isnt necessary as long as she drinks enough water (my cat managed to get borderline fat on this stuff)

Answer #4

When you wake up and sometimes before you go to bed.

Answer #5

I just keep the bowl full so they eat when they want

Answer #6

like above she has to have 2 meals a day. train her to eat right. xx

Answer #7

About twice a day. When you wake up, and when you eat dinner.
