How Much Raw Food Should I Feed My Cat? Portion Guide (Singapore 2026)

Key Takeaways

Work out exactly how many grams of raw cat food your kitten, adult or senior cat needs each day — with a weight-by-weight table and weekly pack maths.

Feed 2–5% of your cat's ideal body weight in raw food every day: about 5% for growing kittens, 3% for active adults and around 2% for seniors or cats losing weight. Split the daily amount across two or three meals, six to seven hours apart.

Daily portion table

Based on 200g packs of Designer Cats Raw Gourmet, which contains 117 calories per 100g.

Use ideal weight, not current weight. An overweight 6 kg cat whose healthy weight is 4.5 kg should be fed against 4.5 kg.

Kittens need more, more often

Kittens from six weeks can eat raw. At 6–7 weeks feed 25–40g per meal; at 8–12 weeks, 40–85g per meal. A growing kitten of 1.5–2 kg needs roughly 275+ calories a day, which our recipes meet at those portion sizes. Feed three to four small meals rather than two large ones.

Adjusting the number

Weigh your cat monthly and check body condition with your hands: you should feel ribs easily under a thin fat layer, with a visible waist from above.

Losing condition or always hungry → increase by 10% and re-check in two weeks.

Gaining weight → drop to 2–2.5% and increase play.

Very active, young or outdoor-access cats sit at the upper end.

Pregnant and nursing queens may need up to double their maintenance amount.

Feeding schedule that works in Singapore

Portion out from the 200g pack, thaw for 10–15 minutes, add two to three tablespoons of warm water per 50g, mix and serve. Return the balance of the pack to the chiller straight away and remove anything uneaten after three to four hours.

Multi-cat households

Feed cats separately so you can track individual intake — it is the earliest warning sign of illness. For three or more cats, bundles work out cheaper per gram than single packs.

Cost of feeding these amounts

A 4 kg adult on 120g a day works out from about $4.20 per day at single-pack pricing. We break the numbers down against kibble and wet food in our raw cat food cost guide.
