My female cat Fantasia is my best friend, but she is over weight! She weighs about 13lbs i would say....i had her on IAM weightloss food and that seemed to help...should i keep her on it or try something else?

13 lbs is not nessessarily overweight, depending upon the bone structure and muscularity. I have one cat, Othello, who fluctuates between 13-16 lbs depending upon what he's eating at any given time. But he isn't fat, just big. I have another cat who weighs about 12-12.5 lbs as of late and he is fat. I'm assuming that the vet has told you that she is overweight, because sometimes it's hard to tell just looking at the cat. In that case, if the IAMs is working, then don't take her off it, once she loses the weight just put her on the maintainance plan, outlined on the bag. If your cat doesn't like the food, or if it isn't working anymore then by all means try something else. Nutro Natural Choice Weight Control is good. -- Jennifer
