Watch your cat after meals. Are they licking the bowl clean and then staring at you like you owe them rent? That’s a sign you might need a slightly bigger portion. Are they leaving half the food like it’s a Michelin star dud? Cut back.

Cats also have preferences that change weekly, like a toddler with a TikTok account. One week they love fish. Next week? They act like you served them poison. Adapt, my friend.
The Age Factor
Kittens need more wet food, more often. Three or four small meals a day help their little engines run. Adult cats (1-7 years) usually do fine with two meals. Senior cats? They often need extra moisture to help their kidneys.
Your old grumpy grand-cat might appreciate an extra dollop of wet food at night. It won’t fix the world, but it might earn you a purr. Or at least a less angry stare.
