Let see IMO Milky is soooo fitness!
but My Catulina, is a kind process of linebacker too...
prettie fat isn´t?
Trout is ideal..she likes to keep fit
About a month ago I switched my cats to a half wet half dry diet, and got a more premium dry food that doesn't have all of those fillers in it. I also cut their portions significantly because I realized I was way overfeeding them. They are perfectly happy and love the new diet. Hopefully I will see some results soon because I am very concerned that they will develop problems if I don't get their weight down.

Simba and SunLee are perfect. However, Shane is overweight boardering on obese, and Angel is a little chubby.
I'm most worried about Shane, because I can't control him from hogging all of the food. Simba and SunLee are light eaters, and they also eat the dry food a little bit at a time. I have to leave it out for them, or they would lose weight, and neither of them need to. The problem is, that Shane eats, eats, eats, and the other cats eat at their leisure. I don't know what to do short of locking Shane up in a room all day and all night, to keep him away from the food.

I have 6 indoor cats. One is obese, two are fat and the other 3 are normal. I know being overweight isn't healthy but with 6 cats it's d
amn near impossible to control their diets.
That's like Scratch. Before she was spayed she was a small girl, but after her spay she looks a lot larger than what she was. Her spay sway is quite big and is not as active as she was, although Squee and her run around quite a bit. Squee is tiny but she's not skinny so I'd say she's ideal.
Tiger has lost almost 4 lbs
He's down to right at 16 (Just weighed him)
He's like other's have said, just a big cat.
The cat brats are ideal. They eat EVERYTHING in sight, but they're so active they burn it off.
Tonka....well.... He is HUGE! He weighs *drumroll*... 20lbs.
He's such a picky eater that we can't put him on a diet..Vet says he's perfectly healthy and will always be a big cat.
Jake... The canine garbage disposal is about 8lbs overweight
He's very hyper and active. He doesn't eat all that much either
He's just... pudgy lol. I'm thinking the kids need to stop feeding him under the table

Chase is a bit underweight.. he was around 10.3 lbs at his last vet visit, I think, probably should gain a pound easily. Maybe more. The vet didn't seem overly concerned about it, but then he wanted to blow off everything as him being old.. (obviously our next vet trip is going to be with someone else..)
Perky hasn't been weighed since she lost.. I would guess her around 42 lbs? She's lost about 10 lbs since I put a stop to the family free-feeding the dogs, and looks wonderful now.

I have said mine are ideal, although I realised when doing claws this weekend that both feel heavier than normal, but they look OK, so have reduced their food (much to Tiger's disgust, she is still constantly demanding food!!), and will get them to play more.
Ellen - it is possible to make cats lose weight in multi-cat households, I have done it more than once, and have had up to 6 cats in the house - admittedly, one of the 3 (two were fosters, one was a permanent cat but picked up off the streets overweight) was easier than the other two. In fact, when I got Tom to lose 2kg, I also had 2 girls that needed to put weight on, and managed it.

Both of mine are just right, imo. I don't know what they weigh but I regularly feel around their middles to check I can feel their ribs and that there's not much fat that I can feel.
Out of 19+1 kitten, only 2 cats are overweight and yes, they are on a diet now. The rest are all of perfect weight! However, although Lou is at optimum weight, he could put on more muscle instead of fat! I'm putting him on an excercise program now....
Mine fit in all 4 of the cat categories - Scully has another lb to lose before the vet takes him down from obese to overweight and Autumn needs to gain 2lbs to be at her ideal

My little Sadie is just under 10lbs, just right for her size.
On the other hand, her brother Dexter is part piggie.
That boy weighs in at 16 lbs.

Skye and Calamity are both tiny cats. Calamity was actually a little overweight when I got her from living off hot dogs and hamburgers. But now shes nice and trim. And Skye was extremely underweight when I got her. She spent 3 days at the vets to get her stable enough to go to a foster home. It took her a long time to gain weight. They are both still on kitten food so far because Clammy looses to much weight on adult and Skye just hasnt gotten fat so I havnt switched her.
I just got back form the vet and they told me, over Petunia's growling and hissing, that Pepper is about a pound overweight. He told me to switch him to Light food, which I have aleady done, so hopefully he will lose a little more weight.
My girls are all ideal weight. Lily is a little under 9lbs and all long limbs. Smudge is also a little under 9lbs and is solid looking, but mostly fur. Stumpy is about 8lbs and a petite girl.
3 of mine are ideal, one is over weight, I don't know if Bentley is over weight or obese. He should be 12-13 and is 16 Nuit was 17 lbs when we got her and is down to 13, she just squishy though. bentley has his food rage thing though.
Thanks, there is a link to her thread in my sigOriginally Posted by sarahp
