Looking for some advice -- I'm starting a weightloss regimen with my female cat who currently weighs 12.4lbs. She's a total food thief stealing from my other cat. :nono:
Curious, how long should I expect it to take to get her back down to 10.5lbs? I'm not looking to rush it, just wondering...
...senior cat 15 is losing weight ,we're currently having investigations with the vet to find out why. In the meantime to try mitigate the weightloss I was wondering if there was such a thing a higher calorie food options? He's eating and drinking without issue and is perfectly happy other than...
My cat loves ff classics but she started vomiting and being nauseous. The vet discovered her gums looked swollen and did an xray. She had a crown removed and now back to ff! She is also 12. She lost weight from all the vomiting and appetite loss
My cat also sometimes got low appetite and lose weight becus of some unavoidable stress reason. What i do is give him royal canine gastrointestinal dry food. It's highly digestible and nutrious. My other cat with several kidney problems also accepted to eat it.
But you should ask your vet...
...kept him on his diet. Here is the last picture I can find of him at his weight of 14 pounds:
Definitely enlist your Vet's help with weightloss as losing too fast can cause serious health issues. Read this thread closely at the beginning for many tips on what worked for Mickey and you...
Hi. How old is Buddy? The most common weightloss issue is hyperthyroidism. The only symptom some cats have - just like mine - was weightloss with no change in food consumption or behavior otherwise. There is a thyroid blood test that could either confirm that or rule it out. Some vets don't do...

..."movement for food" whenever possible. We did kibble toss and similar, food puzzles etc.
The did also encourage me to temporarily use a weightloss food. I did that for Nobel with very good results and then we moved to sr food which has less calories for the nutrition. (Usually)

Daisy and Phoebe are on different food (weightloss vs anallergenic). Phoebe will raid Daisy's food any chance she gets. Only way I've managed it is to get to the plate before she does! It's workable because I'm home most of the day, but I don't know how I'd manage with wet food, which would be...
...(inbetween food allergy nonsense). I gave my senior cat the Royal Canin Mother and Babycat food when we were dealing with hyperthyroidism weightloss.
The mother and babycat helps with immune development and is very easily digestible and high calorie so that is why I like this. But, you...
Mr Captain was a little under 16 lbs. I'd calculated somewhere around 300 calories for weightloss, and my vet calculated that he could only have 230.
Is this one of those foods that creates an artificial thirst?
Anyway, since wet food seems to be out of the question, can you get him to...
Hi there, I know this is a decade old post but do you have any more updates about Mickey?
My cat Leo is very big himself and I am concerned. I want to see some progress in his weightloss. I've been strict but he has not shed the pounds yet.
...the tooth to remove bacteria." ?
I couldn't find anything about it helping a cat lose weight. Nor, from my experiences does the Hill's weightloss food help a cat lose weight.
Have you told your vet about the obsession? Have you told your vet you aren't feeding the cat anything else? Does...
Buddy is 3-years-old. I heard hyperthyroidism is really common among older cats. I'm definitely keeping an eagle eye out for Buddy...maybe too much so. Buddy was tested for diabetes because he drinks A LOT of water, but nothing with diabetes there. I last brought Buddy to the vet in April...
...better to clear up the allergy and could be what you'll feed long term.
If you can give the dry food through some sort of movement based enrichment and feed based on the calories per cup of the bag rather than the food recommend by the bag, you'll have an easier time with her weightloss...
