Hello! My name is Jen and I am a new member here. I am curious as to how much food you would typically feed your sphynx cats? A little back story: I became a new sphynx mom to sisters Peaches & June back in late August 2017. They will be a year old May 31st this year. Yesterday we had a routine check up at the vet. June is now 7.6lbs and Peaches 6.6lbs. Peaches has a smaller frame (I’m thinking she was the runt of the litter to be honest) where as June is a bit taller and bulky (typical sphynx body from what I’ve seen with others). Our vet is already expressing weight concerns and they aren’t even a year old yet. Unfortunately they do not have any previous experience with the breed, and neither do any of the other local vets. She wants me to cut back on their food. Right now they eat nulo wet & dry. We open feed on dry (I refill their bowl about every other day giving them 2cups) and they each get half a can (medium size can, same size as a tuna can) of wet for breakfast every morning. So I guess what I’m getting at here is what and how much do you feed your babies and what are their weights like? Sorry for the long post, and thanks in advance for your advice! ^_^ (In the photo Peaches is on the left with the fuzzy face and June is on the right half asleep)
