I posted here before about my fat cat. I have two 3 year old female cats. One is pretty slim and extremely active (Pansy) and the other is overweight and lazy (Tulip). If I'm playing with them, Tulip will lie down and watch as soon as Pansy comes out to play, she's very passive that way.
I switched their food to mostly wet food a few months ago but she hasn't lost any weight, she may have even gained some. I'm feeding them Iams wet food, 1/4 to 1/2 a can each in the morning and the same in the evening. I give them about 1/8 cup each of Royal Canin Light dry food in the morning and another 1/8 cup each before I go to bed.
Tulip is constantly whining for food. Should I changed to a different type of wet food? Am I feeding them enough? Last time I checked, Tulip weighed 16lbs and should probably be around 12 or 13.
I really want to help Tulip lose some weight, she can't even reach her own behind to clean anymore. I don't want her to get sick because of being overweight. She only started really gaining weight back in January when I was gone a lot and had to leave dry food out for them to eat.
Thank you so much for any help.
