What this means for the bowl
Purina Fancy Feast Senior 7+ Minced Chicken Feast in Gravy sits in the middle of the 42 wet cat foods we track, at 909 kcal per kg.
To show how much the food matters: a 10 lb spayed or neutered cat needs about 261 kcal a day. That is 3 ½ × 3 oz can of this food, but 1 ¼ × 5.5 oz can of Instinct Original Grain-Free Pate Real Chicken Recipe Wet Kitten Food and 2 ¾ × 5.1 oz can of Royal Canin Feline Weight Care Thin Slices in Gravy. Same cat, same day, very different bowls.
Wet food is mostly water. Gram for gram, the average dry cat food in our list has about 4.1 times the calories of this one, which is why the wet portion looks so much bigger.
Senior recipes are made for older cats, who often move less. If yours sleeps most of the day, choose the “Lazy indoor” setting and check the weight every few weeks.
