Fat cat ?

pola Mar 02, 2009 12:11 PM

I have a 5 yr. old obese cat.
I have tried everthing, feeding separating, removing dry food, but so far nothing is working. The vet says if i feed her one half can twice a day, it should come off, but it has not.
I feed Wellness canned, Innova canned AND Innova dry ( a tablespoon of dry per cat per day) but she gets NO dry at all.
I know I have to get her weight off.
She is 15 lbs and should be no more than 10 lbs.
She is short haired, dark grey and white tabby.
Thank you.
Susan

Get all the dry food out of your house, so she cannot get any at all. It is not good for any of the other cats either. Check the other canned foods to make certain that they contain no grains, starches or carbohydrates. Limit each cat to 6 oz. of canned food daily, and feed the cats separately. They will eventually lose weight.
