I have three cats. I've got a bit of a situation.
One cat (my brown one I posted pics on here) Dum-Dum is one large cat and she's bordering on obese.
My two other cats are smallish one nearly underweight (I posted pics in another post of them) Kitt (aka Malion) and Willow.
I have a senior citizen black lab dog Obi (at the lower threshold of a healthy weight).
My fat cat eats very little and sleeps a lot. I can't take the food away because the other two are thin and the one is super active. I don't really have any way of separating their feeding. I tried weight loss formula Wellness but the one started eating dog food and now immediately goes for dog food and eats a lot of it. I can't put the dog food away because my dog slowly grazes throughout the day.
I'm at a loss what to do. I can't deprive the thin animals who eat constantly and are active. I've tried making the other one play more because she likes to run around after a laser but is hasn't seemed to do much. She will barely touch wet food either.
As far as the dog food eating one is this going to cause any great harm to her? I know they need Taurine but I'm not feeding them run of the mill dollar store stuff, it's expensive grain free and looks fairly similar in levels of proteins and fat to decent but not top of the line cat food.
My house layout and circumstances kind of prevent having scheduled feeding times.
Any ideas?
