Default How do you put a cat on a diet?

Buffy is a tad plump. We have a lot of play time (fishing wand toy, I
toss golf balls and glitter balls and she chases them). She also runs
around playing all by herself with the golf balls.

She generally gets a half a can of Sheba pate a day. I dole out 1/4 cup
dry kibble (Purina One Indoor), once in the morning and again at bedtime
so she'll have something to snack on during the night. It doesn't seem
like a lot of food. Yet she weighs 13 lbs!

Is she simply predisposed to be a rather rotund little girl? She's
about 7 years old, maybe 8. I don't really know.


That was about the age when our Marblecake was at her tubbiest. A few
years on, she's slimmed down again, without us doing anything about it.
She was never really obese. I think it just happens. (I've lost a lot
of weight myself in the last few months, in a similarly unplanned way).
