So my 2 year old cat is only one of my 5 cats currently. His nickname is normally fat boy or big boy, but not anymore.
This is a diet I have been using for weight loss over the course of 3-4 months not super fast like most vets would recommend or have you do.
This method is very simple and easy to do and not very expensive.
All that I did was I would buy a very mild in protein WET food so no 95% meat wet food for this.
Buy a very high protein dry food such as orijen or evo, instinct.
When you feed say a 18 19 pound cat only feed them as if they are a 10 or 12 pound cat.
In my case the amount of wet food was half a can. Use half a can of the wet per serving or split it into 3 servings if you have time,
each serving just take a regular spoon and give that much of the dry on the side of the wet if your cat isn't a picky eater.
This helps make it so you don't need to feed as much wet food to keep the cost down. A bag of orijen lasted me the whole 4 months I did this
This is just to balance out the cats diet. Just be sure to read the amount of calories. Regardless of the cats weight I never give a cat over 300 calories per day. For me I give about 250 total.
If you have the time to cook or prepare your cat their own homemade meal that is great but I didn't
During this time I also used a lot of catnip to help promote play in my cat for exercise while I was away.
I would also avoid using Supermarket brand wet and dry cat food if it is at all possible.
If you live in a multi cat home or even with dogs make sure you have all of them on a schedule and if possible try putting the cat you want to lose weight away from the other pets during feeding time so after meal snacks can be avoided.
