My vet would like to see my 13lb male cat, Bender, lose about 2 pounds. I have him on Science Diet Light canned food right now. (1 and 1/3 can per day split in 3 meals he weights 12.8lbs does that seem reasonable?) I would like to get him to be more active too so he will burn more calories, right now he likes to sleep. I've tried those toys that dispense food, I have one that hangs on my door and the cats have to jump at it to get it to drop food. My other cat, Jakey, loves it, but Bender prefers to watch Jakey play and just eat the food that falls (since Jakey is more interested in the play part) I've also tried those feather chase type toys with Bender alone or with Jakey and he is never interested in chasing or pouncing or anything. He usually watches it, and may bat a paw out if it is close, but other than that. He will also not chase food, I've tried throwing it and he has no interest. (I have wondered if maybe he cant see so well, and maybe that is why he doesn't chase the food, but I think he may just be lazy)
So does anyone have any ideas or other toys their cats like that will also get him moving around some more?
Thanks!
