When and how much do I feed my cat?

Question

My cat, Lailah is pregnant, and how much extra do I feed her. Please only give me information on this, and don't tell me to get her spayed. Sorry for aksing for som much info on this. I am a little new to it.

Answer 1

Just leave a bowl of dry food out at all times, when shes hungry she'll eat.

Answer 2

What we did when our old cat was pregnant was feed her twice as much, sometimes shed eat three times as much. If you dont mind leaving food out for her, then that would be the easiest thing to do. If she eats wet food give her two of the smaller sized cans (5.5oz) a day.

If shes on the raw diet give her 8-10oz a day.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

One thing that I have always done for my cats is have a bowl of cat food and a bowl of water next to it and simply just keep them filled. Put them somewhere in your house where she will know where its at and she will just go and eat when ever she wants and as much as she wants. Make sure it's dry cat food though. And this way you don't have to worry about when to feed her, she will eat when and how much she wants.  

Answer 4

I have four cats and they each get one can of wet food a day

and there is always a bowl of dry food and fresh water for them to

graze on all day and night.  By the way 1/2 can of wet in morning and

1/2 can of wet in evening.

Answer 5

A cat knows when she needs to eat. For a medium sized female cat, a medium sized bowl, say maybe a twelve or sixteen ounce size should do the trick. A cat will eat what's right for her. If I have too large of a bowl filled for her and she doesn't finish it within a day or so, my cat will become finicky and will beg for fresher food instead of finishing what's left. Yes, cat's know. Just like you may not like potato chips if they are left out on a humid day, a cat doesn't like old food that's been sitting out. That's why I suggest starting out with no more than a medium sized bowl. Keep an eye on it and if she finishes it before a day is through, then up the size a notch.Oh, a couple more bits of fun info for you, just in case. A cat pretty much knows when to wean it's kitten(s). And, a cat's first litter is usually small. When my cat was pregnant, she had only one kitten. Enjoy your cat (and the kitten(s)! Good luck!!
