FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Cats: care, feeding and health
How much does a cat eat a day?
An average adult cat needs about 200-250 kcal a day: for example, one 85 g pouch of wet food plus 30-40 g of dry food. Divide it into two or three meals and always leave fresh water.
How many litter boxes should I have?
The rule is one box per cat plus one spare — two cats, three boxes — placed in quiet spots, away from food and water, and scooped at least once a day.
How often does a cat need to see the vet?
A healthy adult cat should have a check-up once a year; from the age of 8-10, every six months. Kittens need the full vaccination schedule and monthly deworming until they are six months old.
