How to feed
Give it as the main diet according to the table on the bag, based on your cat's weight. It's best to weigh the portion — neutered cats gain weight quickly even with slight overfeeding. Split the daily amount into 2–4 meals. Switch gradually over 7–10 days. Provide fresh water: for urinary health, drinking matters as much as the food — see how much water a cat should drink.
After neutering: what else matters
Food is the foundation, but activity also keeps weight in check: play with your cat every day, use puzzle feeders and count treats in the daily total. Weigh your cat once a month: if the weight is creeping up, cut the portion by about 10% and watch for another month. Recovery after surgery is covered in caring for a cat after spaying, and stone prevention in urinary stones in cats.
Who it suits
