Zephyer is going to be 6 months old soon, and most books say that food rations should be brought down at 6 months.
At the moment he has free access to dry, which won't be changed. He also gets a 3 oz can twice a day. I was going to take him back to my older cat's ration of 1/2 can twice a day.
Should this still be enough for growth? And should the change be more gradual, maybe 1 1/2 cans sarting now untill his birthday (17th) then dropping to one, or is it fine to just go to one that day?
