Mishi normally gets just 1/2 cup a day in two feedings; he eats almost all of it. Sometimes I do give him an extra 1/4 cup, but he seems happy the way things are now; or at least he doesn't beg too much. Because he was living on the streets before he was rescued, he never knew when his next meal was coming so he got into the habit of gobbling all that was available when it was available. Now that he's in his furrever home, he needed to be retrained on a feeding schedule.

Yes, he's a big 15 lbs. The vet had me put him on twice a day feedings as he had gained 3+ lbs. in only 6 weeks after I adopted him and had him free-feeding. The vet said that was WAY too fast for a kitty and could cause health problems. He was getting flubby when I was free-feeding him. Now he is a lean, solid muscled, hunka-hunka orangie love no flub on him now. Good luck! It's not easy.
