Too little or Too much?

[wolflady]

I learned from my vet, that feeding only canned food is like us eating fast food every day. Perhaps you could give him 1/4 to 1/2 can per day, with a nice dry food to help him slim down and get healthier. I feed my cats multiple times per day, but only a little bit at a time because mine tend to "scarf-n-barf" if they are fed all at once.
I sould suggest feeding at least two times a day, once in the morning and once in the early evening, around your dinner time.

As far as spraying is concerned, there could be several reasons, from not being fixed, to being overweight, to having a behavioral problem or health problem.

Let us know how he's doing!

he's doing good on the half can twice a day, but the thing is he doesn't like dry food...so i will try it next time i get dry food...and he is fixed...but someone said that 9 lives causes urinary tract infection so i'm coffused!

You sure are trying your best!!!! I think if Timmy is doing good on the canned food split for two meal, keep him on that. BUT, feed him a GOOD quality food. My cats seem to like Nutro. I do not leave out any food after they finish eating, the bowls are washed and put away. There is clean water for them to drink. If you would like a good book for a reference, see if you can find The New Natural Cat by Anitra Frazier. I bought my copy in 1991, and use it all the time!!! Good luck with Timmy!!!! Sandra
