    For a 13 lb, 10 yr old cat, how much wet canned food would you feed per serving if feeding 2 x a day?
    The amounts on the cans seem like an awful lot.

    I have always fed dry food 1/4 to 1/3 cup 2 X a day.

    I would start with about 3 oz per meal. Adjust up if Ginger is always hungry and doesn't need to lose weight. Adjust down if there is always food left or Ginger needs to lose.

    at one serving?
    a full can is 5.5 oz, so you are saying to give between 1/2 to 3/4 of a whole can?

    thank you.
    I never imagined it to be so much at one time.
