First, you're going to have to find out what your cat will eat. Some cats
are very picky, like my cat. She will *only* eat kibble. I've tried all
sorts of canned stuff, it was a waste of money. For awhile I was buying
Iams
eight pound bags of kibble, but eventually I switched to the twenty pound
bags available at Petsmart. It meant almost a 50% savings by buying in
bulk.
I give my 12 pound kitty approximately one cup every evening, which
approximates the amount suggested on the bag for a cat of her size. If she
runs out of kibble before that, it's guaranteed that she will let me know
her food tray is empty.
