It’s not normal for a cat to bloat. And it’s not a good idea to overfeed.
How old is Sammy? Just a kitten right?
It’s very important right now to feed Sammy a high quality canned food diet right now. And feed him 3 to 4 times a day. It’s best to stay away from cheap dry foods. They really aren’t good for your cat and they go against everything nature meant for your carnivore to eat.
An approximate amount to feed a normal cat per day is 5.5 ounces of high quality canned food. So I would offer Sammy as much canned food as he wants throughout the day as long as he doesn’t bloat just spread it out. Set up a feeding schedule though so Sammy doesn’t think that if he begs and asks for food he will get it every time. Maybe start with 4 ounces of canned food per day, feed one tablespoon at each feeding and see how he does. You can add more or less depending on how Sammy does with that amount.
You might also consider a species appropriate diet of raw meat, organs and bones for Sammy if that is an option for you.
I’m sorry but I don’t have any suggestions for feeding dry foods. I believe they cause health issues and should never be fed. Cats were never meant to eat dry food, also known as cereals or kibble. We, humans, make them eat it for convenience to us. It has nothing to do with them or their nutritional needs. It’s completely species inappropriate.
All small domestic cats descended from desert cats. In the wild, desert cats derive their entire liquid intake from their prey. They do not have a thirst mechanism because they don’t need it when eating a species appropriate diet. They get all they need from what they eat. Additionally water was usually not available to them in their desert climate. So they do not often drink water. Regular ol’ house cats have descended from those same wild desert cats.
So in a home environment, your kitty does not get the moisture it needs from dry food and it’s almost always in a constant state of dehydration. Water fountains are encouraged to TRY to get your cat to drink more and your kitty may even enjoy it, but it will never meet its water intake needs drinking from a bowl.
Deadly feline illnesses such as diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, allergies, Irritable Bowel Disease (IBD), bladder stones, kidney stones, urinary tract blockages and Urinary Tract Infections (FLUTD), with and without deadly crystals run rampant these days. Cats are not taking in enough water to stave them off. Proper water intake through a species appropriate diet alone can prevent most of these conditions.
Overall, wet is all around better for any cats diet, be it canned or Raw and they should never be fed dry cereal kibble if we wish to most closely match their wild nutritional and dietary needs. Kibble meets our needs… not our cats.
