My 4 yr old kitty, Ava, is working on losing weight (unbeknownst to her). She recently weighed in around 11.8 lbs. She is on Hill's Science Diet Urinary Tract prescription food. They recently came out with a Urinary Tract & Metabolism dry food which has less calories per cup which we are transitioning to. She eats the urinary tract prescription diet wet food in the morning, about 30-40 calories worth, and then dry for the remainder of the day, totaling about 120-140 calories per day. Sometimes she leaves some dry kibble in her bowl, which is why the calories aren't specific. I am keeping track of her calories per day and weighing in every Monday morning. The weight loss hasn't been consistent, though. Can anyone give me any advice or point out anything I might be doing wrong?
I foster cats as well, and am constantly having to put their food down for them, take it up, put her food down, etc, so she most likely has snuck some of their food in the past when I was a little less vigilant as I am now. Do you think if I keep reducing the calories (but eventually stopping at a calorie number where I see her still losing) that we will be successful?
Here's her pic..she's lovely! I just want her to be a healthy weight.
