How much to feed a cat? [View all]

I am the “mom” of 2 Snowshoe sisters. It’s a fairly large breed of domestic cat and I feed them each 1/2 can of Fancy Feast and 1/4 cup of Hill Science Diet weight control dry food twice a day. They are indoor cats and enjoy relaxing and napping during the day after a good night’s rest. My vet. says they are overweight and should cut back on their kibble.

It doesn’t seem to me that this is too much food but would appreciate other opinions.
