What this means for the bowl
Purina Pro Plan Adult Sensitive Skin & Stomach Turkey & Oat Meal is one of the more calorie-dense dry cat foods we track: at 546 kcal per cup it has more energy than 94% of the 55 dry cat foods in our list. You will pour less of it than you might expect.
To show how much the food matters: a 10 lb spayed or neutered cat needs about 261 kcal a day. That is ½ cup of this food, but ⅜ cup of Purina Pro Plan Kitten Complete Essentials Chicken & Rice and ⅞ cup of Kirkland Signature Healthy Weight. Same cat, same day, very different scoops.
A level 8 oz measuring cup holds about 126 g of this kibble. If you have kitchen scales, weighing is more accurate than scooping, because a heaped cup holds noticeably more than a level one.
