Hi guys. I've never had a pet before, but recently adopted a cat. My neighbor had him for eight years or so, and decided to move away without him. He (Simon) started knocking on my door and I felt really bad for him, so now he lives here in the house with me.
In most cases he's really smart and knows what to do and what not to do, so I'm not too worried. But I'd still like some advices on cat care, so if anyone can give me some pointers, I really appreciate it!
He's a little overweight I thought, so I started feeding him with Iams Weight Control, but it didn't seem to work too well. I'm switching to Science Diet, but it says on the package that it's suitable for adult cats under seven years old or something. I'm not sure if it'll be bad for Simon. And there are so many different kinds of food out there I really can't decide what's the best. I'm totally confused.
I don' know which brands are better, and I don't know if Simon should be on senior diet or something.
Sorry for all the newbie questions.
Here are some pics of Simon, by the way.
If the pics don't wor, check out the following link to another forum. Scroll half-way down to JL9000's (me) post.
