How much do you feed per cat?

[Cathie]

I feed better in the raw. I freeze it into ice cub trays for easier feeding. When I started I measured it to be about 4 cubes for the 3/4 cup that is said to be a full meal on the package. I feed 6 cubes just because I know the Sphynx need to eat more than furry cat. Last night I was out of made up food (I feed 3 times a day, 7ish in the morning, 530ish in the evening and 1130ish at night) So I gave them about a 1/2 cup of TOTW (some that I brought with me when we moved) and they acted like they had not seen food in weeks.
They are normally acting hungry when I fee at bedtime, but last night was crazy. It started me wondering if they are getting enough. Or if just they acted like that like a kid would with candy. They do beg at meal times, but not any more of less than when they were only on the TOTW.
So, what do you think? Are they getting enough and the dry was just like candy? or should I feed more or add dry or what? I thought I knew what I was doing.

I know exactly what You mean, I feel the same way at times. I feed BitR and always have some TotW on Hand in Can form. I dont do it by cup. I actually go by weight, they say 4 to 6 % of body weight. I use this for the Sphynx and my Cornie gets a bit less because he is puttin on the weight. They also get Treats.
So I feed mine 3 times a day, 7'ish aprox a bit over 2 oz each, 4'ish same a bit over 2 oz each and 8'ish 1 bag only to split so 2 oz for both. I tend to give the bigger bags to Hairy the sphynx just because the other needs to loose or stay the same , where Hairy needs to gain a bit ( after his ordeal last week he didnt gain his weight back all yet so i give him extra ) .
They act like they are starving all the time too, but they love food, no matter what food i give them.
One time i gave them some kibble at night and they ate the WHOLE BOWL right then and there like they hadnt had Food in Weeks!! Thats why i do not feed them any more kibble, because they Inhale it and then puke because of overeating.

I was feeding BITR and was giving them about 8-10 oz a day. They still acted like they never ate. Now I feed the Stella and Chewy's and when feeding time comes around it's like they haven't eaten in days. They get a cup of that a day, cut up into 3 times a day. It's like they are on crack!!!!!

It was kibble last night since that is easier to carry on the plane. As long as it is a normal thing, I will not worry about it.
And the scarfing is why they only got about a 1/2 of a cup..so about a 1/4 of a cup a piece. in 2 different bowls. And they made sure they ate every single nugget.
