When I first bought Lily from the humane society she was already obese and since I've had her it seems like she's been gaining a pound here or there. I've even tried to cut down her servings, but that didn't seem to help. I have been feeding her wet and dry food mixed together. Maybe I should just go with one or the other from now on? I put her on a diet a few months ago and she rarely ate, and I still have some of the diet food left. I recalled having her come up to me whenever I ate and begging for scraps which told me she didn't like her diet food. Should I mix the diet food in put maybe like a teaspoon of wet food in there so that she will eat it? Also will taking her outside for walks help make her loose weight? I've been playing with her inside the house and trying to make her more active every now and then as much as I can. Also what is the average weight for most cats? And can a few pounds overweight of the average weight can threaten her life?
