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. I have gradually cut back, 1/3rd of a can of wet food and slightly less of the dry. I have discovered that she's sort of rationing herself when it comes to the dry food. Used to be the dry food was completely gone by morning. Now there are always a few crunchies left when I get up. Buffy is perfectly healthy (wish I could have said that about Persia; she cost me a fortune in prescription food and vet bills over the years!). Any suggestions? Or do I just have a cute, charming, chubby cat? Jill |
