What this means for the bowl
Sheba Perfect Portions Paté in Natural Juices Savory Chicken Entrée is on the lighter side: at 766 kcal per kg it has less energy than 85% of the 42 wet cat foods in our list, so the bowl will look fuller for the same calories.
To show how much the food matters: a 10 lb spayed or neutered cat needs about 261 kcal a day. That is 9 × 1.3 oz tray (half of 2.6 oz twin pack) 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 4.9 times the calories of this one, which is why the wet portion looks so much bigger.
