How much Felix should I feed my cat?

Follow the feeding guide printed on the pack, which is based on your cat's weight, and adjust it over time if your cat is gaining or losing weight. It's worth weighing your cat rather than estimating, since it's easy to overfeed a less active or indoor cat.

Can I mix Felix wet food with dry food?

Yes, many owners feed a mix of wet and dry food. If you do, adjust the amount of each so the combined total matches what your cat needs for their weight, rather than feeding a full portion of both.

Does Felix cat food need refrigerating once opened?

Yes, any unused portion of an opened pouch or tray should be covered and refrigerated, and used within the timeframe stated on the pack. Bring it back to room temperature before serving, since most cats prefer food that isn't cold from the fridge.

Is Felix suitable for kittens?

Felix's adult range is formulated for adult cats, so a kitten needs a food specifically labelled for kittens or growth to meet their higher nutritional needs. Check the pack for the life stage a specific product is intended for before feeding it to a kitten.

Felix cat food feeding guide

Felix wet cat food is a complete pouch and tray food, designed to be fed as your cat's main meal rather than a topper. How much to feed depends on your cat's own weight and activity, which is why the feeding guide printed on the pack — built around your cat's weight rather than a single number for every cat — is the one to follow rather than a general rule of thumb.

How Felix wet food is meant to be fed

Felix pouches and trays are formulated as complete food, meaning a cat fed enough of them needs nothing else added to meet their daily nutritional needs, aside from fresh water always available. Most owners split the day's amount across two meals, morning and evening, rather than leaving a whole day's food down at once, which also helps keep wet food fresh.

The range spans different textures — in jelly, in gravy, and pate-style options — and different life stages including senior recipes. Cats can be particular about texture as well as flavour, so if your cat turns their nose up at one style, trying a different texture within the same range is often more effective than switching brand entirely.

Getting the amount right

The feeding guide on the pack is based on your cat's weight, and it's worth actually weighing your cat rather than guessing — it's easy to overestimate how much a cat needs, particularly an indoor or less active one. Adjust gradually if your cat is gaining or losing weight, rather than making a large change all at once.

Introduce a new flavour or texture alongside what your cat already eats for the first few days rather than swapping abruptly, especially for a cat with a sensitive stomach. Most cats adjust to a new wet food without any issue, but a gradual switch avoids unnecessary upset stomachs either way.
