A month or so back I had started a thread to discuss nutrition options for my cat, who wasn't in great shape due to lack of activity and an over-hyped "diet" food that did nothing for her. Everyone was very helpful, and after a lot of research, I have settled on two choices; Nature's Variety...

After a bit of research I think this looks pretty good: http://www.royalcanin.ca/index.php/e...ein-Preference Thoughts?

Wow, sorry I let the thread go for so long, its been a bit hectic here o_o Basically I dont want to be feeding her corn and rice balls. That seems to be the main ingredient in most of the dry foods. Id like to go on a wet diet, but that doesnt really seem to be an option for me at this time. I...

Thanks for all the info guys, I think I've got a general grasp on the nutrition now. If anyone could throw some names at me that would be pretty useful too! What do you feed your pets personally? Im sure most brands are probably distributed across North America

I do feed her once daily the reccomended amount but she doesnt go without eating because shes smart enough to eat it throughout the day. She doesnt ever seem to finish though; her bowl is never empty-which is why Im surprised she's so overweight. I definitely look into more wet food stuff, I...

I have a Slim Cat ball - a large plastic ball with holes in it that youre supposed to fill with treats and food - could I perhaps try putting ALL her food in it? Or would that be mean?

Thanks for the suggestion Auntie - My concern with wet food is that she doesnt eat everything all at one go. Im not usually home all day long to keep taking the food in and out of the fridge.. would she get kitty food poisoning if I left it for her?

Well thats good to hear. Would cutting her food back more be a bad idea? She doesnt always finish 1/4 cup, but I dont want to give her too little or anything Also, the guy at the pet store gave me samples of Rotal Canin spayed/neutered, Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul brand adult light...

I never would have guessed higher fat! But I was probably anthropomorphizing there lol Ill check out this "da bird" thing. I got her a realistic mouse toy that squeaks when shaken and a Yoww brand catnip toy thinking they would get her more excited but she just likes to carry her toys around...

Styx is a little under two years old, spayed (with a big pooch) and VERY lazy/resistant to physical activity. Indoors only kitty. Her only specific "issues" are that she seems overweight (trouble feeling ribs, no waist) and has a bit of dandruff. Her current food is Nutrience Adult Light...
