Need a little advice, I have some concerns that my 9 month old female (peekaboo) is starting to pack away some extra pounds. I wouldn't say that she's fat, but she seems to be a little bit portly.
The problem is that her brother Snarf (the male), also 9 months old, is a much physically larger cat, probably more active, and is in perfect shape fat wise.
The first problem is that they are horribly addicted to dry food. They do eat the wet when I put it out at night, but they really only graze on it assuming there is dry food to be found. I've been reading a lot about dry food latley and realizing that it's not really very healthy.
Diet wise, they pretty much always have some dry food in their bowl most of the time, and they get some wet food when I come home from work in the evening.
Any ideas on how I can get her back into shape without disrupting my other cat, who seems fine with the current situation?
