From four to six months, feed her about 2/3 of a 3-oz. can per pound of body weight per day, and from six months to a year, about half a 3-oz. can per pound per day. Catster reports that a healthy, active 8-lb. adult cat should consume about 30 calories per pound per day, or about 240 calories per day.n average, dry food contains about 300 calories per cup, and canned food has about 125 calories per 3 ounces. So, an 8-lb. cat needs about 4/5 cup dry food or just under 6 ounces of canned food per day.
Kittens, at any age, have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is little and often, as often as four to six times a day for very young kittens. As kittens get older and bigger, they can be fed bigger portions in less frequent meals. By 6 months, a kitten can generally eat two or three times a day. How often a kitten needs to eat wholly depends on each individual. Some kittens eat more and some eat less. Generally speaking, its ideal to feed your kitten as much as it wants. Kittens need twice as much Protein as an adult cat does, so don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat.
