Most people think the canned cat food is higher in calories than the dry cat food, which is incorrect. The dry cat food is far higher in calories. The canned cat food has lots of water in it. Read the labels on both types for moisture content. You need to feed a good name brand cat food, not some cheap generic brand you find in grocery stores.
For the amount to feed your cat is difficult to answer without seeing your cat in person. Is your cat fat or thin? How active is it? Never free feed your cat by keeping food down in front of it all day long. Feed twice a day. Put down only the amount that your cat will clean up in approx. 10-15 minutes. After that time, pick up any left over cat food. You could also mix a little canned food in with the basic dry food. Keep an eye on the cat's weight.

How much should you feed an 8 lb cat?
I always leave dried food in my cats dish (up on a special table where the dogs can't eat her food along with fresh water.) There is no actual need to worry about how much you feed your cat as they just graze and will let you know when they want more. My cat is fed in the morning and at dinner (some wet food along with the dry good) but in the evening she has another bowl in the den where she likes her dry food to be at her choosing.Another Answer:Most cats are also not grazers like cows. They are predators, so have evolved to get their food in bursts, with several hours in between. Many cats overeat if free-fed and become overweight, although this is not the case with all cats.How much you feed a cat depends on its size and activity level and of course, the quality of food that is being fed. A cat fed on lower quality foods with little meat and lots of filler such as grain, corn, wheat and other cereals will need to eat far more and if fed a food that is high in meat content, with little or no cereals.As an average guide, an average-sized cat (9-10lbs) on good quality wet food needs 150 - 200g a day. As dry food is higher in calories, the amount fed should be much less. Again, this all depends on what the quality of food is.
How much can a cats weight fluctuate?
As with any animal, rapid weight fluctuation is unhealthy in cats. Likely you would not want the cat's weight to fluctuate more than about 10% -- a smaller, 10-pound cat should range from 9 to 11 pounds, a 15-pound cat should vary no more than over the range 13 lb 8 oz to 16 lb 8 oz. Cats can get dehydrated, of course, and they will then lose significant weigh and regain it as they rehydrate, but that is unusual.
