What this page is for
Use this when you need a non-medical starting estimate for an adult cat or kitten, split across wet food, dry food and treats.
What to have ready
Have current weight, body condition, life stage, meals per day, and kcal numbers from the food labels. Count daily treats too.
How BowlMath calculates it
BowlMath estimates daily calories, subtracts treats, then converts the remaining calories into the wet and dry portions you choose.
How to use the result
Measure consistently, watch weight trend and body condition, and adjust carefully if real life does not match the estimate.
BowlMath gives a practical starting estimate, not veterinary advice. If your cat is underweight, overweight, diabetic, on a therapeutic diet, pregnant, nursing, eating poorly or changing weight unexpectedly, ask your veterinarian before changing portions.
Does this replace a vet feeding plan?
No. Use your veterinarian's targets for medical conditions, therapeutic diets or planned weight loss.
Can I use wet and dry food together?
Yes. Use a calorie split, fixed wet amount or fixed dry amount so all foods share one daily budget.
