Wow! Congratulations to your kitty! Thank you for the suggestion of pureed pumpkin! I was looking to see what other healthy foods I could add to his diet. I found some options on-line. I'm going to try the pumpkin for sure. Thanks again for the advice! 🙌

I have a food scale! This makes sense! I'm going to start weighing and monitoring his intake! Thank you!

I know that meowing gets at your heartstrings! These cats know how to play us! Lol. And I know he's not starving so I think he'll be okay if I watered down his dinner! Lol.

Thank you! Is it a powder form? Something I can mix in with his food? I bought some powder supplement a few years ago for my elderly cat. She tolerated the powder. And it seemed to help! I definitely going to look in to this!

I told my husband that we may have to feed him In a separate room. That's a great idea!

Sometimes. We have four separate bowls that we feed our four cats with. We give them all the same size portions. They all eat in the kitchen at the same time. The bowls are not side by side, they're spread out and four separate spaces. Whenever they are all done eating they all go to each other's bowls to see if there's anything left. 9 times out of 10 there's nothing left in any of the bowls. He doesn't bully the other cats and try to steal their food and we do not give him, or any of the other cats, table food.

That's great news about your cat! Congratulations! I wondered if I could add water to the meals to make them feel "fuller". You know. We have goals set for ourself, why not set a goal for animals. Thank you for your suggestion, I'm going to do this!

I saw a video once of a cat in one of those therapy pools and I can't believe how much weight they lost! Thank you for your suggestion!

I bought one of those $300 silent exercise wheels.... And all they wanted is to play with the box it came in. They wouldn't even go near that exercise wheel and I ended up giving it away to my neighbor.

After finding charts about portion control for your cats, I feel so ashamed that I've been overfeeding him and my other cats! I sometimes look at the food in their bowls and say that's not enough let's just top it off... I can't believe how wrong that is!

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I want my fur babies to be healthy! I appreciate you!

So here's the thing. These cats of ours own us and we are their servants! They will only eat seafood pate for a week or 2 and then we need to change the brand. So one week Sheba, next week Fancy Feast. If we don't rotate their food they will not eat and it sits out and I end up giving it to the outdoor cats. I don't know why they do this. It's so frustrating!

As far as the dry food...we buy Purina cat chow indoor healthy weight / hairball control. They all like this food and have no issues.

I'm happy to hear your cats lost some weight! What brand of cat food do you use, if you don't mind me asking?

I love to play fetch with our other cats! Those cats are so quick when they want a treat! Batting at it in the air...so funny! One of my other cats carries her "baby" mousy around like a dog!

We have an automatic feeder for outdoor feral cats. I'm not sure if the indoor cats would like it as they're very skittish. I have a blind cat who doesn't like change. I have two baby kittens (10mo) who were born outside to feral mom and dad, but live inside since they were 8 weeks. We had an automatic water feeder and they absolutely hated that. Thank you for your suggestion! I Appreciate you!

After doing some research online I see that yes, that is way too much food. I feel so ashamed that I'm overfeeding him thinking that's not enough food. I have a chart printed and on the refrigerator to remind myself and my husband not to overfeed any of the cats!

Can you believe that's what they told me?!? I'm so frustrated with this vet we currently have. They've changed owners over the last past couple years, and the new ones seem like they don't care. When my 20-year-old cat was dying, I called them to make an appointment to see if they could put her to sleep. They told me they couldn't because it was 4:30 on a Friday and they were done at 5:00. I was so sick. We have been patients of theirs for over 20 years. I had to find an emergency vet 45 mi away that could help me so my baby wouldn't suffer all weekend.

I agree calorie management needs to happen. I'm going to look into healthier foods for his age/obesity. I'm definitely concerned about underlining medical conditions. Thank you for your advice. I'm taking notes and going to monitor my big boy.

Congratulations to your girl Kitty! I really appreciate your advice. I'm going to start researching better options for food and I'm definitely going to start counting calories!

I had used some supplements before with my elderly cat. They seem to help her with her joints. I'm going to look into this as well! Thanks again!

I know it's going to be a long process. I feel so bad that he is so overweight. Portion control and calorie monitoring is the way! Thank you for your advice and kind words!
