I'm so used to free-feeding dry, I have no
clue how much wet to give them.


An indoor cat generally needs about 15 calories per pound to maintain
their body weight. For example, if your cat weighs 8 pounds he would
need 120 calories a day, or 60 calories per meal. The average can of
Wellness canned food is around 180 calories, so 1/3 of a can twice a day
would be just right. If you haven't tried Wellness yet, you might want
to as most cats I know of that have tried it like it, it's excellent
quality with no grains, and the Fancy Feast, SD, etc. are not good
quality foods.

You can find the calorie content of a variety of canned foods he

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
