FEEDING GUIDELINES: Always follow your veterinarian s instructions, as feeding amounts can vary by as much as 50 % between cats 7.8 Always introduce new foods gradually over 5-7 days by substituting larger amounts of the new food in place of the old diet. It is ideal to feed cats multiple smaller meals per day and provide fresh water at all times.
