Direct answer: start with the daily amount on the complete food’s feeding guide, adjusted with your vet for the individual cat, then divide that total across the meals you can serve consistently. Do not multiply the daily allowance by the number of meals.
Write down the daily total first
Use grams, pouches or another clear unit. If wet and dry foods are mixed, each contributes energy, so use the manufacturers’ guidance or ask your vet how to combine them.
Choose a workable meal pattern
Many adult cats can be offered measured food in more than one meal. Kittens and cats with veterinary needs may require a different pattern. Consistency matters more than inventing a breed-specific timetable.
Make every feeder use the same record
A simple tick sheet prevents two people serving the same meal. Include treats and food used for training, and review the plan if body condition or activity changes.
