About Cat Food Costs
Feeding a cat is one of the most consistent expenses in pet ownership. Yet, because we buy food in various sizes—5.5oz cans, 12lb bags, 3oz pouches—it can be incredibly difficult to calculate the true daily or monthly cost.
This calculator solves that by using the common denominator: Calories. By determining exactly how many calories your specific cat needs, and how much you pay per calorie, we can give you a precise financial breakdown.
RER Formula
We use the veterinary standard "Resting Energy Requirement" formula: 70 × (Weight in kg) ^ 0.75. This tells us the baseline calories needed for survival.
Activity Matters
A sleeping senior cat needs far less food than a growing kitten. Our calculator applies specific multipliers (ranging from 0.8 to 2.5) to ensure you aren't overfeeding or underfeeding.
