For a packet that has a Maine Coon on the front, the feed guides are only up to 6 kg. However their customer service email provided an appropriate feed weight for my porky cat. He didn’t really take to these biscuits but the addition of the wet food of the same range helps. The feeding guide takes this combination into account
Our vet was very clear that our cat needed to lose weight when we adopted him from the SPCA. However, when we fed him less, he would then start invading neighbours houses and getting into nasty fights with other cats (on the hunt for food). We now feed him the same amount using this moderate calorie food and he's now at an ideal weight yet he seems to feel full because he doesn't terrorise the neighbourhood.
