My sweetheart, Bug, is about 15 months, and I've fed her only raw meat since about six months now. She has a gorgeous silky coat and is active, she appears the picture of health. But darn it all if she isn't chubby now. She gets raw chicken mostly, with some pork and turkey, and I use Alnutrin plus liver powder. I don't have a scale so I'm not sure of her weight, but where she was lean, now she is chubby. How worried should I be? Thanks all!

Can my one year old become overweight from raw food?

Cats become overweight from one culprit-consuming more calories then she burns. A cats metabolism changes as they age. You probably just need to adjust the amount of calories she eats, now that she's an adult. I'd talk to your vet about what her ideal weight is, and how much calories she needs, then feed towards that weight.
