About CatFeedingCalc.com

Our Mission

CatFeedingCalc.com was created with a simple but important mission: to help cat owners, breeders, rescue organizations, and veterinary professionals calculate precise, science-based cat feeding portions using internationally recognized feline nutrition standards.

Every day, millions of cats are overfed or underfed because their owners rely on vague feeding guidelines on pet food packaging. These guidelines are often inaccurate and don't account for individual factors like neuter status, activity level, life stage, or health conditions. Our calculators change that by applying the same formulas used by veterinary nutritionists worldwide.

Our 9 Specialized Calculators

We've developed 9 specialized calculators, each tailored to a specific feline life stage or feeding scenario:

1. Basic Adult Cat Feeding

Calculate daily calories and food portions for adult cats based on weight, neuter status, and activity level using WSAVA RER/MER formulas.

2. Kitten Multi-Stage Feeding

Age-based feeding calculator for kittens 2-12 months, with growth calorie adjustments and meal frequency recommendations.

3. Senior Low-Cal Cat Feeding

Low-metabolism calorie targets for cats 7+ years, with considerations for kidney health and joint support.

4. Pregnant & Nursing Cat Nutrition

Extra nutrition calculator for pregnant queens (all trimesters) and lactating mothers with multi-kitten support.

5. Overweight Cat Weight Loss

Safe calorie deficit planner with BCS-linked feeding adjustments for gradual, healthy weight loss.

6. Dry/Wet/Raw Food Converter

Convert equivalent calorie portions between dry kibble, canned wet food, and raw food diets.

7. Breed Size Feed Comparison

Compare feeding requirements between large breeds (Maine Coon, Ragdoll) and small breeds (Siamese, Singapura).

8. State Cat Food Tax Budget

Compare annual cat food costs across all 50 US states with 2026 sales tax rates and local tax considerations.

9. Monthly Food Consumption

Project monthly and yearly cat food total consumption with budget estimates for single or multi-cat households.

Our Data Sources

All our calculators and recommendations are based on the most current, scientifically validated sources in feline nutrition:

  • AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials): We follow AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profiles for all life stages, ensuring our recommendations meet minimum nutritional requirements for cats.
  • WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association): Our calorie calculations use the WSAVA Global Nutrition Committee's RER (Resting Energy Requirement) and MER (Maintenance Energy Requirement) formulas.
  • AAFP (American Association of Feline Practitioners): We incorporate AAFP guidelines on feline feeding practices, life stage nutrition, and obesity management.
  • FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration): Our information on pet food safety, labeling requirements, and regulatory compliance follows FDA guidelines.
  • State Departments of Agriculture: Our state tax calculator uses current sales tax rates from official state government sources.

We regularly review these sources for updates and revise our calculators accordingly. Our goal is to provide the most accurate, up-to-date feline nutrition calculations available online.

Why Trust Our Calculations?

Our Commitment to Accuracy

While we strive for maximum accuracy, we acknowledge that feline nutrition is both a science and an art. Individual cats may have unique needs that our calculators cannot fully account for. That's why we always recommend:
