What are your thoughts how often should we feed our Cats

No single correct answer to the question about how often your cat should be fed. How many times you feed your cat every day is really up to you. And your cat, to a certain extent.
Kittens can be fed free. As much as they want, whenever they want. Though of course this approach only works with dry food. Of wet food, kittens under 6 months should probably be fed three times a day. They are growing rapidly and need a lot of nutrients to do it!
Free feeding adult cats are usually not a great plan. By combining indoor cats with free feeding almost guarantee a weight problem.
First you must decide how much food your cat should be consuming in a day. Most manufacturers of cat food will include feeding guidelines for their products, but they are just that - guides. Some foods are more dense than others, and the average weight / age ratio used in this guide is not always correct. If unsure, establishing how much food your cat really needs to be more accurate as you and your veterinarian. Ask for their input.
Once you've decided how much food your cat will be served day, the card with you a schedule that works best for you and your cat. You can serve it all at once or split it up into as many small meals as you like. Once a day feeding is usually fine for an adult cat if that works best for you and them. But some cats are Graz, prefer lighter meals more often, and it may be necessary to carry it.
