No guesswork and no brand chart. This is the same calculation a vet does on paper, so you can check it.
What this means for the bowl
Lily's Kitchen Tasty Cuts in Gravy Chicken is one of the more calorie-dense wet cat foods we track: at 880 kcal per kg it has more energy than 89% of the 20 wet cat foods in our list. You will pour less of it than you might expect.
To show how much the food matters: a 4.5 kg spayed or neutered cat needs about 260 kcal a day. That is 3 ½ × 85 g pack of this food, but 3 ¼ × 85 g pouch of Purina Pro Plan Sterilised Beef and Chicken in Gravy and 4 ½ × 85 g pouch of Sheba Fine Flakes Poultry in Jelly. 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 4.5 times the calories of this one, which is why the wet portion looks so much bigger.
