For a cat who seems to be hungry all the time, I would find a lower calorie food. It's the calories that need to be decreased and not necessarily the amount of food! There are foods out there for overweight cats which can allow you to give them just as much food, but the calorie content is much lower and the cat can lose weight. I am sure you can find something that Sheena will eat. Also, know that cats needing to lose one pound may take several months to do it! So let Sheena take her time. I'd also play with her and get her moving more. I thought I read somewhere that a cat should eat 1 oz of wet food for every pound they weigh. Must not be very true. Raiden eats about 9 oz of wet food and he weighs nearly 13 pounds. It sounds like Sheena should be getting enough food -- but, let's face it, when humans go on a diet, we are always hungry, too! Nature's Variety Instinct comes in reduced calorie wet and dry food!
