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.
Warnings. 1  Weigh your kitten every day for the first two weeks. 2  It's best to leave kittens to their mother until they are at least 6 weeks old, although eight to 10 weeks is even kinder. 3  Consult a veterinarian if the kitten won't eat at all as this could be a sign of sickness. A kitten aged between six to 10 weeks old needs to be fed six to eight meals a day, while a kitten aged 10 weeks to six or seven months needs four meals a day and a kitten up to nine months needs three meals a day. 2  Note that it's not until adulthood that two meals a day for a cat is acceptable.
