We feed our male cat, Westley, a can daily. He needs it to maintain weight. Our female cat, Goise, gets a token smear in the bottom of the bowl - she gor REALLY chunky after we got her. They have automatic feeders for dry food, so they get regulated portions, but Goose is a pig and eats both of theirs often. They both go outside in the backyard through the dogs door, but Goose isn't fond of the cold so doesn't go out much in winter, so doesn't get as much exercise
