    What's normal for a cat? My one is always hungry. He doesnt stop miowing and scraping you until he's fed. He's fed about 6 or 7 times a day with nuts and a packet of wet food.

    Does anyone have a similar cat. Is it the food. Could it be the cheap food like the shop branded stuff. He's so demanding.

    Is he wormed regularly?

    Yeah, I worm him monthly as he's always catching mice.

    It could be the food then, maybe try a higher quality dry food.

    Few questions....

    How much would you say in gms (or cupfuls if easier) would this add up to?
    How old is he?
    Does he drink water?
    What's his weight like?

    It could be, but if you're not feeding the right quantity too per kg of body weight then he will be hungry. Mine for his bodyweight should get ~80gms of Royal Canin Male Neutered or Indoor.He grazes though so i split it throughout the day. He's a muncher though (dont believe the myth cats will stop eating when they're full) and would eat double if allowed. I'm currently trying to get his weight down.
