Adopted a cat from the RSPCA
Discussion
Lovely looking cat, and he appears to be grinning widely at his good fortune in being adopted!
Tinkerbell's a tiny thing but scoffs 2 pouches a day as well as a few cat biscuits. She'd have more if I let her but I think that is enough. Solely indoor ones can manage on 1 pouch + bikkies.

Years ago we tried out some dry cat food on our Siamese...
After an initial disapproving "You must be joking" look on her regal face, she scratched around in it, then treated it like her litter tray...
Back to mince after that - good mince too, the little beggar wouldn't touch whatever it was that was sold as 'pet mince' back in the late '60s. We did wonder whether it meant 'made from' rather than 'made for' pets....

Difficult to know without looking at him Ali (I assess based on visual and using my hands!!) but if you manage to grab a pic from above him and side on that would be useful. I suspect 6kg maybe his ideal weight as tbh most pure bengals we see are 6-7kg (7kg being top end and usually sl too heavy if I'm honest!!)
Thanks Bex. Yeah, I thought that would be the case. I'm not too worried as his actual weight was 6.7kg and he's on a diet (we weigh the biscuits out) but it is hard to diet his when you have 2 grazers.We have two. One an older gent, a right snob. Will only eat raw steak and raw salmon unless it's his usual wet/dry food. The other, an absolute alley cat (both rescues) will only eat raw chicken and often turns her nose up at the off bit of raw steak, salmon or any other fish, yet she'll happily eat packet ham if we offered it to her. The older cat is starting to get on the skinny side, but then again he is 14. We feed ours 2 packs of wet every other day (if they pester us for it). Otherwise they get a bowl of dry each a day and a big bowl of water between them (not that they touch that much). You'll find if he's an outdoor cat he may will be feasting outside your walls...and i don't mean people feeding him...
Beautiful little pussycat!
Our 15 year-old munches his way through up to five small Sheba-in-gravy pouches a day, plus dry and the odd dry treat. He also gets the odd cut from the Sunday roast
He's far from fat and won't eat any other cat food and this Sheba discovery is a rather recent one, so we indulge him.
