notoriously particular about
their food But have you ever
stopped to think about just
how much your kitty is
consuming with each meal Its a
staggering thought that will
leave even the most seasoned
cat enthusiast purrfectly

the equivalent of five mice

proteinpacked power packed
into a small bag or can When
you consider the average adult
cat eats around 14 cup of
kibble per pound of body
weight daily its no wonder our
felines are always on the
prowl for their next mealBut
what happens to all that
excess energy Well some might
say its a vestige of their
wild ancestors who needed to
store fat reserves for those
long hunting trips While we

experts at recharging their
batteriesAs we celebrate the

weeks without eating relying
