For those who feed a raw diet, I’ve created a chart with guidelines for feeding by body weight. It’s recommended to start with 2-4% of body weight per day.

This chart lists body weight in 2oz increments for cats from 3lbs to 22lbs12oz and provides feeding guidelines based on 2, 4 and 6% of body weight. Metric conversions for body weight and food weight are also provided.

Click here to view the spreadsheet as a separate page.

I hope you find this to be a useful resource. Remember – these are just guidelines. Your cat’s individual needs will ultimately determine how much you should be feeding.

Keep watch for more articles on raw feeding.
