So my Sasha has always been a skinny little thing; good appetite, just really lean. She was previously a stray who survived due to an older man who put out leftovers for her, so she adores people food. She eats all her cat food but when I poach plain chicken she always gets a bite or two.
Well we lost our older male a few months ago and then I noticed my remaining boy was getting a bit heavy. I cut back their wet food since I was feeding less cats, and started vigorous play sessions. Now Mac looks great but Sasha is too thin.
I know there are high calorie foods but I don't want my boy getting into it. I know there's a high cal gel but she's not too crazy about Hairball gel. Could I add boiled chicken as an extra supplement to her diet a few times a week? I don't think she'd go off her regular cat food. I'm also quite sure she'd like baby food mixed in to her wet (I'd most likely make my own organic, but it seems that would be basically the same as giving her plain chicken?). Anything else I could do?
I can give you the details on her current diet if that helps.
