How many calories should a cat get each day?

Answer #1

That depends on how large the cat is and whether it leads a sedentary or active lifestyle. An active cat will require about 85 - 90 calories for every 2.2 lbs (or 1 kg if that’s how you weigh it) and an inactive cat will need about 70 calories for every 2.2 lbs.
