What should a sterilised cat eat?

Quick answer

After spaying or neutering, a cat needs about 20 to 30% fewer calories but often feels hungrier, so weight goes up fast. Switch to a food made for sterilised cats, measure every meal, and play every day. Wet food helps too: it fills the stomach with fewer calories.
