I have about seventy pounds of cats who eat "CD Dry", a similar product.  I
use a "regular" cat-food can -- tuna-fish-can size -- as a scoop.  A grand 
total of two such scoops per day -- leveled off precisely -- feeds the 
aforementioned felines adequately.

These prepared diets are very rich, and a little goes a long, long way.

(My seventy pounds of cats count out at six, except when they are playing
when I am trying to sleep.  Then it's more like fifty of them.)
