Hello everyone!
I rescued a very fat cat a little over a year ago at a humane shelter. She was about 21 pounds, short squatty legs, very small head and huge body. She was found under a dumpster here in NY and was infested with fleas. Since last year we have tackled her shyness, dandruff from the fleas, and she has become the spectator event amongst my friends. This past week we went back to the vet to get her tested for a thyroid problem which came back negative and she has gained 2 more pounds! This is a very happy cat but I can't think she is as happy as she could be. I have her on Iams Lite and have decided she is not allowed to graze all day and only eat 2x a day. Is there anything anyone has done to help cats lose weight? She is 9 years old and I also have a very active little 9 pound cat that loves to harrass the big one all day. I feel so sorry for the big girl but don't know what else to do.
