The amount of cat food a cat needs depends on several key factors such as breed, age, activity and weight. These aspects influence the cat's energy requirements and nutritional needs, so the amount of food needs to be customised. You can find out how to find the ideal amount of food for your cat here.

1. The ideal amount of food: important factors
The breed plays an important role, as larger breeds such as Maine Coons require more food than smaller breeds such as Siamese. The age of the cat is also crucial. Growing kittens and older cats have different nutritional needs compared to adult cats. Kittens need more energy and nutrients for their growth, while older cats often need fewer calories.
Too much food can lead to obesity, which in turn can lead to health problems such as diabetes, joint problems and heart disease. Too little food, on the other hand, can lead to malnutrition, weight loss and weakness. It is therefore important to find the right balance to ensure your cat's health.
2. The ideal amount of food: choosing the right feed
To find the ideal amount of food, it is essential to choose the right food that is specially adapted to your cat's individual needs.

Once you have found the right cat food, the feeding recommendations on the back of our Sanabelle cat food products are a good guide.
