Figures provided by the National Research Council in it's latest book published in 2006. Each Measurement listed is amount needed per kg. of body weight unless otherwise indicated. A reminder here, that the NRC now suggests "12 to 20 small meals per day" for small felines. These meals are meant to be equally divided between daylight and night time hours.

Where are the phenylalanine and L-tyrosine requirements? These are essential as I understand it.
Hi Esther;
If you read correctly, the information is taken directly from the National Research Council, so you would have to take the question up with them.
Hello; peaceful greetings. Thank you for sharing this information. There is a lot of conflicting and nebulous information out there regarding feline nutrition. This weblog seems to be the best source on daily values I have found so far. I was wondering if you might be able to clear up a few things, please: Are the values per kg. or per lb.? Are the safe upper limits also per unit, or for any size domestic cat at all? The Omega6 : Omega3 ratio seems backward from other sources I had consulted -- could you verify or correct the information on your blog? I very much appreciate the time and effort already invested in this very informative blog, and will most definitely appreciate attention to this comment and my requests. Thank you very much. Have a wonderful and blessed day.
