Many pet owners wonder just how much they should be feeding their felines to keep them content. The answer depends on a variety of factors, including your cat’s age, current weight, activity level and whether they’re pregnant or nursing.\nSo how much should I be feeding my cat?\nThe average cat weighs around 8 pounds. According to some animal medical experts, a healthy, active 8-pound adult cat requires about 25 calories per pound per day. So, the average 8-pound cat requires about 200 calories per day.\nThis means you should follow these guidelines* when serving up\nSHEBA\n®\nPERFECT PORTIONS™\nmeals:\nFeed adult cats three to four servings per 5 pounds of their ideal body weight daily.\nFeed pregnant and nursing cats two to three times their normal amount. (They’re eating for a litter, after all.)\nFeed a kitten four to seven servings daily.\n*These feeding guidelines apply only to SHEBA\n®\nPERFECT PORTIONS™ Premium Pâtés, Cuts in Gravy and Garden Medleys meals. Different cat foods have different nutritional values, so always check the packaging for feeding guidelines.\nFeed for your cat’s ideal body condition\nNo two cats are born equal. Some breeds are extra-large, while others are naturally petite. Feed your cat an amount of food that helps them maintain their svelte figure, whether they’re a beautifully burly Maine coon or a more slender Siamese. Your vet can help you determine exactly what your cat’s ideal weight should be based on their breed and age.\nIf your cat has been packing on the ounces, scale back the amount of food a touch until they reach their ideal weight.\nRemember: Quality over quantity\nWhat you feed your cat also affects how much you need to feed them. Healthy, nutrient-rich foods made with premium ingredients — like those offered in\nSHEBA\n®\nproducts\n— provide the optimal amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals your cat needs.

[How Much Should You Feed Your Cat](https://www.sheba.com/lifestyle/how-much-should-you-feed-your-cat) ![Alt Image](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAtJREFUGFdjYAACAAAFAAGq1chRAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) # How Much Should You Feed Your Cat SHARE - [Facebook (opens in new window)](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.sheba.com/lifestyle/how-much-should-you-feed-your-cat&title=How%20Much%20Should%20You%20Feed%20Your%20Cat) - [Email (opens in new window)](<mailto:?subject=How Much Should You Feed Your Cat&body=https://www.sheba.com/lifestyle/how-much-should-you-feed-your-cat>) ## There’s a lot to consider — and one excellent solution. Sleeping 15 hours a day can work up such an appetite. Many pet owners wonder just how much they should be feeding their felines to keep them content. The answer depends on a variety of factors, including your cat’s age, current weight, activity level and whether they’re pregnant or nursing. ## So how much should I be feeding my cat? The average cat weighs around 8 pounds. According to some animal medical experts, a healthy, active 8-pound adult cat requires about 25 calories per pound per day. So, the average 8-pound cat requires about 200 calories per day. This means you should follow these guidelines\* when serving up [SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS™](https://www.sheba.com/wet-cat-food/perfect-portions/premium-pate) meals: - Feed adult cats three to four servings per 5 pounds of their ideal body weight daily. - Feed pregnant and nursing cats two to three times their normal amount. (They’re eating for a litter, after all.) - Feed a kitten four to seven servings daily. \*These feeding guidelines apply only to SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS™ Premium Pâtés, Cuts in Gravy and Garden Medleys meals. Different cat foods have different nutritional values, so always check the packaging for feeding guidelines. ## Feeding tips for your cat When planning your cat’s menu, keep these tips in mind: ![sketch of two cats sitting behind their food bowls](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAtJREFUGFdjYAACAAAFAAGq1chRAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) ### Feed for your cat’s ideal body condition No two cats are born equal. Some breeds are extra-large, while others are naturally petite. Feed your cat an amount of food that helps them maintain their svelte figure, whether they’re a beautifully burly Maine coon or a more slender Siamese. Your vet can help you determine exactly what your cat’s ideal weight should be based on their breed and age. If your cat has been packing on the ounces, scale back the amount of food a touch until they reach their ideal weight. ![sketch of cat walking towards its plate of food](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAtJREFUGFdjYAACAAAFAAGq1chRAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) ### Remember: Quality over quantity What you feed your cat also affects how much you need to feed them. Healthy, nutrient-rich foods made with premium ingredients — like those offered in [SHEBA® products](https://www.sheba.com/wet-cat-food/perfect-portions) — provide the optimal amounts of protein, vitamins and minerals your cat needs. They already know they deserve the best; that’s why you serve SHEBA®. ## Table of Contents ![sketch of cat sitting around multiple plates of cat food](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAtJREFUGFdjYAACAAAFAAGq1chRAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) ### Serve a tapas bar, not a buffet Cats aren’t picky eaters; they simply have sophisticated palates. They prefer a variety of flavors in smaller servings, which is why they nibble throughout the day. Second brunch anyone? ![sketch of Sheba® Perfect Portions™ pack with plate of food in front of package](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAYAAAAfFcSJAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAAtJREFUGFdjYAACAAAFAAGq1chRAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) ## SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS™ meals are, well, the ideal solution [SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS™](https://www.sheba.com/wet-cat-food/perfect-portions/premium-pate) single-serving meals are aptly named because they come in ideally measured containers, so you know exactly how much you’re feeding them. The single-serve packets allow you to treat your cat to food that’s fresh every time. So feel free to mix up the menu! [Salmon for breakfast?](https://www.sheba.com/products/wet/sheba-perfect-portions-premium-pate-sustainable-salmon-entree) [Chicken for dinner?](https://www.sheba.com/products/wet/sheba-perfect-portions-premium-pate-roasted-chicken-liver-entree) No complaints here. In other words, [SHEBA® PERFECT PORTIONS™](https://www.sheba.com/wet-cat-food/perfect-portions/premium-pate) are the preferred way cats like to eat.
