Hi,
I have a rescue cat. He was 3 years old when I had him. His previous owner only fed him dry food and over fed him. He is a large cat but was over 6 kilos. I was advised to stop the dry food only diet and to cut his food intake down as he needed to lose weight and he had problems with cystitis and breathing. I have, after a struggle done both and he will know eat wet food and has lost weight and his heatlth is much better, although as I said he is a big lad and still 5 kilos +.
The problem is after more than a year he is constantly and I mean constantly asking for food. He aks for more food immediately after being fed and eats everything put down in about 2 seconds. I can not leave any of my food anywhere unattended as he will eat it. I have left bread out and he has chewed through the bag, he chews through plastic and foil to get at food. When I eat he sits at my feet like a dog would. Everytime I get up he runs into the kitchen, he is constantly in the sink licking dirty dishes and cutlery. He scours the floor for crumbs. I honestly believe he would not stop eating if I put food down for him. He sits by the cupboard where his food is kept and cries.
