Approximate Daily Feeding Requirements for Cats

The typical adult feline requires a daily nutrient total of 1 ounce of canned food or 1/3 ounce of dry food per pound of body weight. (If your cat's operating system is metric-based, provide approximately 60 grams of canned food or 20 grams of dry food for every kilogram of body weight.) Recommended portions are also listed on the containers of prepackaged foods. Be ready to adjust these, however, if the cat becomes overweight or underweight. (For information on diet requirements for kittens, see Diet Requirements.)

Quirk BooksThe Cat Owner's Manual is a basic guide to cat care.
The book was written by a celebrated veterinarian and an acclaimed author. It provides cat owners with well-researched and helpful information presented in a lighthearted manner. The creators chose to write the book in a style similar to what you'd find in "operating instructions" for a car or computer. Of course they--and we--respect the fact that our beloved pets are not products or machines!
