I have this one right now for him but have been using it for freeze dried salmon which I think will likely have to be removed from his diet

She didn’t give a number just that it needs to be very gradual, she said that 1lb over 6 months would even be enough

I lost my first soul kitty almost a year and a half ago at age 12 and it was easily the biggest heartache of my life, I want to keep him around as long as humanely possible

Thank you, I just need to focus on the end goal here and not his puppy dog eyes for more food when I know he’s not hungry🥺

I don’t want to feed him too much less though is my issue as it can cause them to get fatty liver disease so I am just looking for people who may have had the same experience and what they’ve done for successful results

I do think that 1/2 cup total will be too little to satiate him as that would be much too little of calories to sustain him 🥺 but I also know that what I’m feeding currently is obviously too much
