U know the food orgin? IT made my old old cat so healthy and my youngest cat very fit and strong but its making my female calico obese! Shes looking fatter and fatter here i will show u a video what u think?



Cant really see much here i will try to find a better 1 but see how skinny and fit the male cat is and she just turned into a blob


Here is a better one

I free food cause I got an old cat that underneath all that fur is still very skinny and frail, and my other cat as you can see by how he looks is a total athlete they r cats I found outside in the yard & can go in and out as they want (except for the old one)

If you are free-feeding that may well be part of your problem. Orijen in and of itself is a good quality food and not full of grains and fillers so is better than most dry foods. A wet food diet is the ideal diet and your girl would probably lose some weight and stabilize at a good weight. She may just be eating too much.

At any rate, any weight issues and remedies to weight issues should be discussed with your vet. If cats lose weight too quickly they can get some serious health problems.

Remember that you are now feeding a DENSELY calorice formula ... ie it has more calories a cup than a premium with grain.... are you feeding less than you did on the prior food?? What is the ideal weight per the vet of this kitty ?? Are you feeding to the guidelines for the desired wt or the current wt ??

I agree you likely need a vet consult


Can you feed the older cat in another room??
