Hey everyone,
When I adopted Cello he was overweight, not terribly overweight, but needed to lose some excess fat. I have him on wellness wet and core which not only helped him shed pounds, but made his coat look fantastic. I weighed him every other day on a postage scale when I got him. (17 lbs - 15lbs) however recently his weight has gone back to 17!!! although he doesn't have the fat?!?! He still looks really good (only think I couldn't get him to lose was the flab pocket on his belly....kismet has it too). Since I got him I think his activity has gone way up. I walk him on his harness everyday, and I have multiple interactive toys that I play with him with everyday. I weighed Kismet and she is at 11 lbs as well!! (same thing....9 when I got her, down to 5 when she was sick) but I think she looks great too!
I guess my question is.......like people once cats are active for a long period of time after inactivity(obviously no activity at the shelter and their old owner was very very ill) can they gain muscle weight?!
