That looks to be an immense amount of food for a cat that size, but maybe I am getting the perspective wrong?

That's definitely a ton of food. Kitty will be having one hell of a nap after.
And then one hell of a shit.
To be fair, that's what cats are for.
Judging by the size of thumb and depth of bowl, that is easily just one can of food.
Maybe a 5 or 5.5oz can, but a lot of cat food comes in 3oz cans too. Some have you add water which can add to the bulk of food.
So with perspective and me trying to remember my misguided private sector years in pet food retail... that may not be an immense amount of food for a cat, especially a younger more active cat.
That 5.5oz can is supposed to be a whole day of food give or take, for a full size adult cat. At least that's what my vet tells me.
Very well might be with your standard grocery store canned food, and especially with some of those formulated vet foods. But there's a lot of those high moisture diets that can grt you there. Especially with raw formulas and kitten formulas.
And that guy seems like he might still be under a year.
I think it’s a perspective thing. That bowl is smaller than it looks, considering the fingers for scale and the bowl is pretty flat. I bet that’s about one small can of wet food.
That cat is thinking JACKPOT.
