Bigger cats will need more food than smaller cats. Feel their ribs. You should be able to feel them, like the back of your hand. If they feel like your knuckles, they are too thin and need more food. If they feel like your palms, they need less food. If they're perfect now and are hungry, try a little more food and see if they stay somewhat the same.

Of course, they may disagree and keep us guessing all the time. I mean, they're cats.
