Cats can survive much longer than humans without eating, because cats can lose 40% of their body weight without dying (however, cats losing 10%-14% of their total body weight in water are generally in danger of death). It is known that under special circumstances, cats can survive without eating or drinking water for several weeks. For example, a tomcat named Chips from Liverpool, England, was accidentally shipped to Mombasa, Kenya, in a box of machine parts. When the box was opened four weeks later in Africa, Chips had lost weight but was still alive. It is thought to have survived by eating some of the oil smeared on the outside of the machine and licking what little moisture there was from condensation.

Cats don’t need three meals a day. Feed the cat 4-6 times a day. In addition to making the cat's gastrointestinal absorption better, it can also help the cat get used to dieting and not stop eating.

A normal cat needs 50 grams of cat food per day. This is for adult cats. If you are an office worker, you cannot put all the cat food for the day into the cat bowl. You can choose one meal in the morning, one meal in the evening, or two meals a day. Most obese cats are overeating, so it's important to control the amount of food they eat.
