RE: How Many Times a Day Do You Feed Your Cat and What Brand?
I have two cats who are twenty-five now, and one that is a year and a few months old. I free-feed them kibble, and they don't abuse that. Particularly for the sake of my older cats, I split a 3-ounce can of wet food between the three of them three or four times a day; regularly three, but if they've eaten everything and are hungry again before I go to bed, I'll open a fourth can. It's important for older cats to have wet food, in order to be sure they're getting the water they need. Mostly, my two older ones eat the wet food, because the younger one will ignore the wet food more often than not, or only take a few bites of it. She mostly eats kibble.

I feed them Blue Buffalo kibble, mostly the kibble made for indoor cats, but I rotate between a few of the other Blue Buffalo kibble types, except for their Basic, Grain-Free and Wilderness brands, the former because my cats don't like either the Basic or the Grain-Free kibble, and the Wilderness is too high in protein for the older cats.

While my cats are fine with the same kibble every day, they are very picky when it comes to canned food. Well, not so much picky as that they demand variety in wet food. They don't want the same canned food too often. So I rotate between as many brands of premium foods as I can, my requirements being that meat, fish or poultry by the primary ingredient, and that there be no corn, soy or gluten. I also reject meat byproducts and gluten. They like the Blue Buffalo canned food well enough, but only so long as they aren't expected to eat any one thing too often.
