How much should I feed just one cat?

I have always had more than one cat at a time, but now I’m down to just one… How much food does one cat need? She’s an older calico if that makes a difference.

Just feed her half of what you’d give to two cats.

I went from having three cats to just one very quickly…

Then maybe feed her about a third of what you used to feed three cats.

It depends on how old she is. My senior cat gets around 80-100g of fresh meat in the morning and she has dry food available all day. But she’s never been a big eater. If you need to portion it, about half a cup of dry food should be fine.

@Wesley
She’s a rescue, probably in her early teens. I can’t free-feed because the dogs will eat it all. And honestly, she always pretends she hasn’t been fed yet lol. My other two were more active, especially my overweight ragdoll!

@Hollis
Can you put her food somewhere the dogs can’t reach? I keep my cat’s food on a tall cat tree to keep it away from my dog, and that way I can leave food out for her all day.
