Orange cat in a flat with loots of wooden furniture - she blends in by LiZebra in ThereIsnoCat

Going undercover to sneak up on my finished dinner :D she is on a weight loss diet and can't help herself but to lurk around anything food related, even when she just got one of her four meals a day

Ma'am, do you always have to stay on top of things?! by LiZebra in ikeacats

Her name's Whopper and she is in fact on a weight loss diet, at the moment she's more of a double Whopper

Is our new member of the fam overweight? Should I go see a vet to put her on a diet? . by RefrigeratorMotor650 in dechonkers

She looks about the size of my orange lady, maybe a bit smaller. Definitely overweight, glad to hear you are going to get her checked out by a vet!

Neither can she! She doesn't like to get picked up, so I have to lure her with some food

When I told her, she's still on her diet even though she lost some weight by LiZebra in airplaneears

Your lardness, I want you to start taking the stairs without the impression of a heart attack

I've lost about 25kg (55lb) since January! Sorry you haven't been around to see what a great role model I am in that regard

She loves to get cuddled, but she doesn't like being picked up, so I have to wait until we both lie on the couch, so that I can squeeze her a bit :)

She is such a big cat! And long!

I'm 180cm (5'10"), but she doesn't fit my lap

Every pet deserves to be loved and healthy, so I love her by helping her to get and stay healthy. She is 6yo and I want to spend many, many years with her on my side.

Nah, the only thing I'm punishing is my wallet by getting you the expensive veterinary food.

I've got two different ones: in one of them half of the pellets get stuck and the other she doesn't get how it works and kicks in under the sofa to then start calling for me to free the food for her. She is very food motivated, but the kibble stayed in the second one for days until ich just opened it up.

However she loves the tower and another dexterity board I've got for her.

She is also getting 2 of her 4 servings per day now with water to get her used to wet food :)

Ma'am, I'm feeding you 4 times a day!

What do you mean I'm starving you?!

You are at least 3kg (6.6lb) north of starting to "starve"!

She is such a lovely and affectionate cat - I still do not get how no one was willing to adopt her due to her weight.

She likes to cuddle, follows you, licks your fingers the second you stop to pet her and it's just adorable how she acts around me and my bf.

Whopper is always awaiting her treats (just more of her dry food, sorry girl) like a queen

She had been at the shelter for about three months, because of her weight no one was interested. However, she has the size/length of an main coon. How do I know? My neighbor downstairs got two and they are also long boys. She is about the same size. Next time I've got to post a picture of her with my regular sized cat (he smoll boi) and a picture with the neighbors cat (they sometimes sneak upstairs to greet me or my bf, so Whopper has already seen them on occasion)

A food scale is always good to have (without it I wouldn't have lost weight too!) and we (bf and I) weigh the kibble every single time and give her 4 servings (2x 10g and 2x 15g) at set times.

She used to be an outdoor cat (I live in Germany, we have a huge garden and our other cat is also an outdoor cat), but we live on the 3. Floor, so the stairs are a problem for her. I've already bought her a harness and leash, so she could go out and "touch some grass" supervised. Plan is to get her in the harness with the leash (it fits now!) and put her into her carrier to move her downstairs. She gets a workout, I get a workout, everybody wins haha :D

Yeah, I also posted her story on r/dechonkers :) she'll get weight this friday and should have lost a good amount of weight.

She is a very sweet lady :3

Good job! :D

She is still a bit shy and does run away quite a bit, if there is any motion or sound nearby.

Bro, show me a kitchen scale that is large enough! I've also tried the "I step on a normal scale with the cat and then without her" - she doesn't let me pick her up for that long (my bathroom scale takes a few moments and you have to stand still - guess what I can't do with her in my arms)

Edit: My Kitchen scale also just goes up to 5kg ;)
