My cat started out at 16 pounds. She was on all dry diet. I switched some feedings to wet(less calories) Started timed feedings. Got her down to 14 pounds. But cannot get her to anything less. If she does go below 14, it ends up back the next week or so. I am making sure she is not eating what the others have left. I even switched to Authority dry which is less calories then the other dry they were on.
She curently gets about 200 calories per day. Maybe I need to lower it? She gets 1/4 dry and 3 oz of wet.
I dont feed the same foods every week. But have been switching around each day. But feed Nutro Natural Choice,(mostly) Wellness Turkey and Duck, Merrick Cowboy cookout mixed with Hound and gatos chicken. Merrick Turkey, Sheba and fancy feast once in awhile.
Has anyone been through this and find out it wasnt the food? maybe hypothyroid or something else? The vet said mittens needs to be about 12 pounds.
I have 6 other cats, none of them have trouble with weight. They get 1/2 cup of dry and 1 oz of wet per day.
