Hi Scott
Oh she is a big girl isn't she.
the rule is usually between two and three meals a day. But I know some cats prefer lot of smaller meals throughout the day rather than three bigger ones, (my own cat for example)
With your cat your vet should have perhaps advised if there were any particular lower calorie brands of cat food available, if not then roughly how much she needs to eat to be able to lose weight over time.
Often fat cats find it hard to loose weight because their bodies have got used to the amount of food given (even if it is the correct amount) against the level of activity they do and hangs onto fat.
the key is regular every day running around games with your cat EVERY DAY perhaps just before meal times. if this is kept up over a long period of time the cats metabolism will change and start to burn calories even when inactive (same as us humans).
Always follow the food guidance on the side of the can when feeding.
But Scott you will have to be strong too if she is to loose weight, no more giving into crying and begging and regular playing.
Good Luck
