If you have a cat or are considering getting one, knowing how much to feed them should be a top priority. As with all animals, no cat is exactly alike and each has their own dietary needs. While some broad nutrition rules apply to all felines, you might need to do things differently than what you did with another cat, or different from another pet owner. Figuring out what, when, and how much to feed your cat is one of the biggest contributors to a healthy lifestyle that will keep them happy and in good shape, so take some time to learn what your cat needs.
