My Sheena weighs 16 lbs. She eats only wet - NV and Tiki, around 200 calories (or a little more depending on the variety) daily. Is there a guide anywhere on how to reduce weight safely? She eats 1/3 of a can, three times a day. And drives me crazy because she's hungry all day. She's 18 months old. Please help! Thanks.

Don't worry. The Rogue, on his best days, weighed in over 20 lbs. Most of it was muscle. He was eating raw food only, with a huge appetite.

And you are feeding some of the most expensive and best brands around! 


Enjoy her. She might get a bit bigger. Give her as much exercise as possible. If she doesn't have any health issues, why not just let her be.

Thanks for your response. What happened to your poor Rogue?

The Rogue, bless him, died in April. He had a heart defect apparently common in huge breeds (not sure what he was since I found him in my car when he was a kitten). I didn't know, and neither did any of the vets. So my advice to everyone is, don't sweat the small stuff, and have your cat enjoy life (without bothering about calories or lbs).
