I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this. My cats weigh 19lbs and 17 lbs. Vet says they need to lose weight, but didn't give me a weight goal. They were being fed approx. 323 cal/day. If I've done my math correctly, to maintain 19lbs, he would need 263 cal/day. I'm wondering how much I should cut back the food. If I take it down about 20% of what he needs to maintain 19lbs it would be about 210 cal/day, is this too drastic? I know weight loss for cats is very important but very tricky to not damage the liver. (Vet says they need 125 cal/day and 100 cal/day. I know she is supposed to know better than me on things like this, but I am just NOT comfortable cutting back their food THAT much so quickly)
