I really didn't know what to do with Buffy. She was already a little

every day plus 1/2 a cup of dry, portioned out morning and evening. No
matter how much we play/exercise she is bound to be a chubby little cat.

That might just be the case. If she's getting plenty of exercise and
not getting too much to eat, maybe that's just her normal size and shape.
Does she seem comfortable, physically? Does she move with ease? If so,
maybe she's in good health and you don't have to worry about it.

She seems very comfortable physically. Unlike Persia, who was
constantly horking up hairballs and seemed to have an upset tummy often,
Buffy is very healthy. She's just a round short-legged cat.

One thing you could consider, if you're not already doing so, is to
buy grain-free cat food. Cats do not need them, and grains could cause
unnecessary weight gain. I don't know if it's available where you live,
but you can definitely order online. It's not cheap, though, so I guess
it depends on your budget.

She likes her dry Purina One Indoor Advantage cat food. The first
ingredient is turkey. I don't think a half a cup of that a day is
excessive.
