Feeding guides help Kirkland for cats
My cat weights 10 pounds. I am reading the feeding guides and it says that a cat of that weight should eat 1/2 - 2/3 cups per day. I do not have a scale, but I do have a vase with millilitre marks on it. How many millilitres should I give him per day? A quick conversion would say 236.5 millilitres. However the guideline also says: 4008 kcal/kg (443 kcal/cup), which yields 110 grams per cup. I have found on the internet that "A 44 pound bag of dog food would contain 176 cups of dog food in each bag". Is there any Kirkland user that could corroborate that 236.5 millilitres of Kirkland food matches the 110 grams? Thanks!!
Here is the feeding guideline:

Best to just use a kitchen scale, good for making bread and coffee too. Just weigh the empty container, tare it and weigh the new food.
Let's say that's not an option for you. Because foods are measured by weight and not by volume and you want volume. I can show you there's some things that you can do
1)you need 176 cups/44lbs of dog food, will only yield the conversion ratio for that dog food with that kibble size.
2) Without knowing the volume of the vase or it's shape that's impossible to determine any correlation there.
3) A kg appears to be little over a cup, so, you could take (333kcal/1c.)x(1 kg/3564kcal)= ( .09343kg/c.)= 93.43g/c.
4) Then take (93.4g/c.)(1c./2)=46.717g or 93.4x(3/4)=70.07g etc.
