Hi there, I just wanted some advice on quantities of food. I have just got a new bengal boy who is about 6 months old. He weighs 4.5 kg. As recommended by the breeder I feed him half a cup of dry food in the morning (hills science diet adult cat food) and a raw meat meal at night which is made up by the breeder, interspersed with 1 chicken wing or2 chicken neck once or twice a week.
With the raw food she said 2 tablespoons, I portioned up the meat and have realised its actually more like 3 tablespoons, weighed it, its about 100 grams. He doesnt finish it all in one sitting.
He hasnt begged for food or anything and seems satisfied. he takes longer to eat the raw meals. his poo has been fine, one a day and firm so far. I dont want to overfeed or underfeed! In reading cats that age need a bit more calories than adults? Can anyone confirm the amounts are right?
