How Fast Do Your Cats Eat a 15 Lb. Bag

[Anikaca77]

Hi All,

We recently switched our 9 cats to California Natural cat food. Our guys seem to like it and it seems like we are going through a lot of the food.

The food only comes in a 15 lb. bag but I just purchased in on July 24, 2009 and now we are low again. I will probably be out in the next day or two.

So a 15 lb. bag has lasted me ~14 days. I have about 8 food bowls and I measure out the food, they get 1/2 cup of food a day and I put an extra 1/2 cup in the bigger bowl since I don't have 9 food bowls out.

How fast do your cats go through a bag of food? Maybe I never paid much attention to how many times I had to buy cat food since this is a tad pricier.

Just curious.

Thanks,
Melissa

Yup - thats how fast we go through that size bag too. When it was just 5 cats, we had 4 weeks for a 17 pound bag. But 8 cats? Its like it evaporates!

Yup the food goes real fast at my house as well.. My large Cosco bag will last 2 to 3 wks at the most.. I also feed other brands of dry as well..

I used to have 6 cats but even now with only 5 I don't see much of a difference. I buy Innova Evo in the largest bags which is a little over 15lbs. They last me about 1 month or so. I think it's because I feed Storm a lot of canned food so he doesn't eat as much of the dry as the others do. They eat about 1/2 cup or a bit less a day and now I'm also giving all of them some canned at night. I'm always buying at least 2 bags at once so I don't have to go to the pet store so often.

I feed from about 4 Bags at once so I can give them a nice variety of tastes. The Iams pro active Adult went fast as did the Science Diet Mature!!!
And they like the Purina Heathful Life especially Juke Joint Joseph as the kibbles small enough for him to eat.
I would say that 50 pounds will last about 3 months!

A 20 pound bag use to last mine about 5 to 6 weeks but since I been feeding Priscilla, It don't last but about 4 weeks, she eats twice as much as they do and gobbles it down like she is STARVING!

I've been buying Precise in 15# bags for a while now. 12 cats, 15# every 10 to 14 days.
