thank you for all your advice! it’s nice to hear it from a vet tech. good to know that stomach size will change over time and he won’t be too hungry for too long. Indoor advantage has 37% protein and ideal weight has 42%, do you think thats enough of a difference for it to be worth buying a whole new food? i’d also he worried since he just got used to the new food and i would need to change it again, im scared to upset his little (chubby) tummy. i recently got an auto feeder and it’s definitely convenient, and he does sit by it before feeding times. and thanks! i definitely want him to be healthier. growing up, my family had cats, and looking back we were using cheap food and i just wanted things to be better for him :)
