Fat Cats Only!

Not to be a bummer here....but we did lose out 8 year old Max to a sudden cardiac event related to his obesity. Yes it was a horrible lesson to learn. When Pinky got large, we changed his food and gave him new experiences to get him to exercise. It's hard to manage weight loss in a multi-cat household, but with some creativity, it can be done.

PurrCatLove, I don't think Raffael is fat. He isn't thin, but he doesn't look like a fat cat to me. He's beautiful. Malachi doesn't look fat, either.

My cat looks like Daisy! This is Mabel, she's 14 pds and 7 years old. We are *trying* to lose weight, but it isn't an easy task

wow Mabel and Daisey are so alike - 2 cuties

Wow! What cute kitties! I love pudgy cats!

Thanks Hope , they may could loose a few pounds though

I've been weighing Daisey for the last 4 months and she just seems to be stablising at 14 lbs....so hopefully she won't get any heavier to cause any health probs...so I do keep check on her weight...but she does look adorable being so tubby

Daisy is sweet! It's so hard to get cats to lose weight and I have a hard time figuring out what to do exactly. I bought a new cat toy and have been trying to get her to play daily, switching cat food to light, and some other things. Mabel was a pet store cat... my husband bought her and didn't realize she wasn't eating the food the pet store assured him she liked. She ended up in an incubator at the vets... seemed she was too young to be taken from her mother too.

OMG poor Mabel...that is awful...she is such an adorable looking kitty...that would have been heart breaking to watch her in the incubator...I fuss round my kitties like they really were human and the stress of something like I'm not sure I could handle lol!

Well she seems to look in great health from your photos. I'm not sure..but I think that Daisey' weight stays stable cause she will play chases with me about the appartment...so that is exercise for the both of us...I run and she chases then we switch lol....I throw a soft ball for her and also plays fetch with it...so the more I have her running about I think helps keep her weight at 14 lbs and not going higher!

I give Mittens a cup to a cup and a half a day of Science Diet Hairball Control Lite. I make him chase a string for a couple of minutes a day, but he has not lost a pound. He goes back in February for a check-up, so I am going to ask her about what our next plain should be.

All these kitties are VERY cute!

Toes, the big guy down below, is 21 pounds, but the vet said he's healthy. He's also part Maine Coon and they do get bigger than your average kitty.

Tailer weighed 17 pounds until she moved to WY. She now weighs about 12 pounds, no diet just lots of exercise.

Peedoodle is large....(I cant say fat in case I hurt his feelings) and he has lost weight from 22lbs to 17lbs which I am really happy about - I can breath more easily when he is sitting on my chest! Kahu gives him so much exercise when they play - they run around all day!

Mr. Underfoot is trying to convice me he doesn't need to be on a diet, that he's nice & slim. He's actually lost a little bit of weight now, down from 16 & 1/2 to 15 lbs.

What a great name... Mr. Underfoot! It says it all...I love his belly button spot

Mr. says thank you.

Here's a "before" picture of his tummy:

Mr. Underfoot is beautiful! Tummy kisses!

Awwwww too cute

Ok, Ok, so I posted this picture of GoGo in another thread about cats walking on leashes but I felt compelled to post in here, too. I take GoGo for morning walks around the neighborhood. We walk in everybody's yard and I let him climb a tree or two. (My neighbors think it's TOO funny) Over time, I noticed that he is starting to trim down. His belly is not go gigantic these days. Anyway, I thought I would share this photo of my big boy's progress.

Awwww....looking good, Gogo! :
