Feeding question

[Feline Costumier]

I get pestered by Dave at various intervals through the day for food, he's not hungry, just greedy and I have to just put up with it or he would be a very unhealthy fat boy!

Mine get biscuits in the morning (I think about 20g each) but Dave eats some of Chilli's which is fine with him being 6kg he needs more than her and this way I know neither of them are over-feeding because he always has to eat from both dishes at every meal! Then they get a pouch each for dinner and just before bed they get a few more biscuits, hardly any, for a snack and to hopefully keep Dave from waking me too early.

Seems like we're feeding the norm then really.

Hrm wonder whether I can get away giving bubba Jess a few more biscuits to snack on, he is a biscuit monster (they are royal canin urinary ones)

Poot has 3 pouches a day and no biscuits unless he's extremely pesky in the evening

1 pouch + biccies per day here. Dinner is Half a pouch at 7:30pm and biscuits are served and eaten when I go to bed at 10:30pm. I save the biscuits until then because beforehand he was snacking on them throughout the day, filling himself up and he was never finishing his wet. So now he has plenty of time to eat all his wet.

my lot have two pouches a day plus biscuits

[Susanne (urbantigers)]

so basically they're both getting the equivilent of 2 pouches plus some biscuits per day?  That sounds about right to me.  Jaffa has 3 pouches (but no biscuits) per day and Mosi has one and a half pouches plus about 20g biscuits per day (I don't weigh or measure the biscuits for Mosi - just sprinkle a few on top of his wet food - I would guess it comes to about 15-20g per day).  They get treats twice a day too (2 defurrum treats for Mosi usually and 6 pieces of natures menu for Jaffa).

Last night I fed the boys their second pouch (half each) around 9:20, Milo ate it and promptly threw it back up. I opened a fresh pouch and put the whole amount in his bowl (so 100G) he ate about three quarters and I left the rest down, I saw Jess nibbling at the leftovers and then Milo shushed his away and nibbled a bit more, I left the rest down over night.

Now this morning my alarm clock went off (not that strange you may think) but EVERY morning (week day or weekend) I am woken up by the boys anytime from 4:30am till I finally get up at 5:40am. But not this morning.

Now its made me question whether I am feeding them enough, as they clearly weren't in a starving state this morning. Jess ate his breaky and Milo nibbled at his.

Currently the boys get fed in the following routine:

5:40am - 100g pouch between them, Jess gets 5g of urinary biscuits on top

7am - 100g pouch between them, Jess gets 5g of urinary biscuits on top

5:45pm - 100g pouch between them, Jess gets 5g of urinary biscuits on top

9:30pm - 100g pouch between them, Jess gets 5g of urinary biscuits on top

Milo has 20g of Royal Canin biscuits available all day.

Now Milo isn't overweight but the vet warned us in February that he doesn't really need to get any heavier. Jess had lost weight, but his quite a lump again.

They do run about and are active, but they are indoors during the day when we're not in (sleeping I thnk),  but now the clocks have changed they will get out more in the evenings (weather permitting)

Jess doesn't know how to graze really he'll eat till its gone. Milo is better and stops when his full.

I don't know whether to give them a bit more food in the evenings, so I don't get woken up at stupid o clock every day (that does sound selfish I know, but constant broken sleep does take its toll) or whether they are getting enough food?
