We adopted our two girls Cotillion (approx 3 years old) and Mini (approx 1.5 year old) almost 1 year ago. Now they both on a diet to manage their weight. Mini's 9.4lbs which is a good one I think while Cotillion is 11.6 lbs who's need to lose some weight.
Since last time we took them to our vet, vet said Cotillion should lose some weight (under 10 lbs would be great), we tried Hill's Science Diet Weight Loss Formula (vet recommonded). However, our girls almost ran out of the food with no change.
I usually feed twice daily and 1/4 cup per time dry cat food according to the instruction durning weekdays and wet food durning weekends. We know wet food will help, but both my husband and I are too busy durning workday morning.
We bought da bird, a laser, and other toys to get Cotillion move. However, Mini is the one who always pays more attention to the toys or responds to us while Cotillion is lying on the floor and watch. I tried to play with Cotillion in a private room but nothing change.
My husband bought a Food Dispenser and a slow feed bowl, Cotillion still shows no interest to them.
Finally, I found Cotillion always sit near the window to watch birds. So I thought maybe taking Cotillion outside for walking would help. I asked our vet and followed the advices. After 2 months training, we thought Cotillion should try to walk outside.
She escaped!! The first time I take her outside! It never happened before. Leaving the leash, harness and me! I followed her to the grove near our house for 30 mins and got her back. Now I'm too nervous to get her out again.
Is anyone can help me? give me some more advice? Is there another brand of cat food shows better effect? we don't want Cotillion to take the prescription cat food cause she's absolutely not at that stage.
Thanks a lot!
