When it comes to dry food, many cats do stop when they've had enough. My cat is given 1 cat of wet food a day and then unlimited dry food, and she's 10 lbs; 9 would be ideal but 10 isn't worth worrying about for a cat her age. My ex's cats are both allowed access to unlimited dry food; one is in a similar position to mine, slightly pudgy but not worryingly so, and the other is perfectly fit. A dog would eat until it weighed 500 lbs, but some cats will actually pace themselves.
