Hello,
I have a six year old (vet estimate) DLH cat. I found him a year ago and took him in. He's a big guy. I suspect he might have some heritage of one of the large, northern breeds. He hit 20 pounds and was starting to look like an American football.
I've reduced his carbs. He gets a combination of low carb dry and commercial raw. He's a picky dry food addict.
My weighing is probably imprecise. I use a human, digital scale that goes to the tenth of a pound. I weigh myself, note the number, weigh myself while holding him, and then do the math.
While he is still registering at 20 pounds, he looks better from above. Picture to follow. I would think that a change in body type would indicate progress, but I wanted to get opinions.
At any rate, this looks better than the football-from-above shape he had a couple of months ago.
The random white blob by my foot is a sock, not part of the cat. My other cat digs out socks to use as toys and to carry around like dead prey.
