How much do you feed your Maine Coon?We dont know if were not feeding ours enough. They get two pouches each and have dry food available all day, although they show lots of interest in the pouches (felix as good as it looks). So how much do you feed yours?

Jackandbuster, I understand Maine Coon's are BIG cats. I have two quite big moggy boys. They weight 6 kilos each. I feed them two felix as good as it looks pouches a day, and ahve dry food available all day. I've had them for 5 weeks now and weighed them once a week and they've not lost any weight. They do beg for a food a lot at night just before we go to bed and occasionally I'll give them another half pouch before bedtime each, but I do try and be rigid with amounts and feeding times as cats do have a habit of begging and pushing their luck! I've also wondered if I'm feeding them enough, but like I said, I've kept an eye on their weight and they've not lost anything. I would say do the same. If yours are heavier than 6kilos then I'd say maybe 3 pouches a day each divided between two meals might help? The Felix box recommends 3 pouches a day for a 3 kilo cat, and as mine weigh twice that and get less than 3 pouches each I was a bit worired at first  but they do eat quite a lot of dry food.It is confusing, just weigh them every week and pay attention to how desperately hungry they are! |
