How much food should I feed my cat?

| Life Stage | Daily Intake | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Kittens (2–12 months) | Higher protein; small portions | 3–4 meals/day |
| Adult Cats (1–7 years) | 60–80g dry / 150–200g wet | 2 meals/day |
| Senior Cats (7+ years) | Lower-calorie, age-supportive | 2 meals/day |

What are the benefits of Me-O Gold?
Me-O Gold delivers complete premium nutrition — priced from ₹275 (0.4 Kg) to ₹3,500 (7 Kg) for the Fit & Firm Adult range.

- Omega-3 & Omega-6 — Shiny coat and healthy skin.
- Taurine — Heart health and normal vision.

Why is wet food good for cats?
Wet cat food contains 70–80% moisture, supporting kidney health, urinary tract function, and daily hydration. Cats naturally get most water through food rather than drinking.
- Hydration — Prevents dehydration, especially for indoor cats.
- Urinary health — Reduces UTI and kidney stone risk.
- Palatability — Ideal for fussy or selective eaters.
- Weight management — High protein, low carbohydrate profile.
