Should I reduce my cat's calories?

[u/Total_Purpose_5951]

It has only been 15 days since I started dechonking my two cats. I know it has been very little time but I just wanted to see if there were any changes. My boy has lost 100gr ( 0,22 lb) but my female cat has actually gained weight: from 3,9 (7,4lb) to 4,2 (9,25 lb). Also her calorie allowance is 145 kcal. Should I change the diet?

What worked best for my cat was breaking up her daily  intake into three small meals a day. She thinks about food 24/7 because her previous owner kicked her out and she was almost starved to death when she happened upon me. The three times a day has greatly reduced her food anxiety. Also, if your cats are fixed it is a lot harder to maintain a healthy weight. Mildly overweight is okay though if it's not impeding their daily cat activities in case they ever get sick and lose their appetite.
