How long does it take a cat to digest kibble?

A cat generally digests kibble within a few hours; the exact time depends on the food and the cat’s constitution. To speed up digestion, play with the cat using a teaser toy 30 minutes after a meal to increase activity and promote intestinal movement.

Normally, feed an adult cat twice a day — no need to feed too often, and avoid giving too much at once to prevent overeating and indigestion.
