What this means for the bowl

To show how much the food matters: a 10 lb spayed or neutered cat needs about 261 kcal a day. That is 75 g of this food, but ½ cup of Purina Pro Plan Adult 7+ Complete Essentials Chicken & Rice and ⅞ cup of Kirkland Signature Healthy Weight. Same cat, same day, very different scoops.
