If you gave cheap and simple food to the cats, they would probably have to eat a lot more. Check the level of food and how much he should eat.
Is there a difference between the amount of food that a domestic cat and a street cat eat?
A domestic cat consumes less food than cats that live outside because of the amount of energy it expends.

How much food does a kitten need? More or less?
A completely interesting question and we will now explain, kittens often need more food and the reason for this is that the food for kittens is designed to strengthen the cat's body structure, its bones and helps the kitten develop properly. In order to get what he needs to grow, a kitten eats larger amounts, but that is up to a certain age, from one year old, the amount will be a standard amount for an adult cat.
A question that I get asked a lot is how many times a day should a cat eat?
Let's start by explaining that an adult cat over a year old should eat twice a day or once, it varies greatly from cat to cat. The right thing would be to follow what is written on the product label and if it is a cat that likes to eat once a day then it is acceptable and if he likes to eat two or three times the amount written on the package can be divided by the number of times he likes to eat.
Nothing bad can happen if you divide the amount of times the cat's food just don't increase the amount of food because then he can get fat just like us humans who eat more than we need we add some unwanted kloggers!
