I am having trouble figuring out how to put just one cat on a diet? I have 8 cats here. 5 are littermates (foster kittens) but only one is overweight. A few of the kittens are on the thin side as is my senior cat Sneakers. They are all eating Orijen dry, Sneakers also gets canned food (the kittens won't touch it.)
The kittens all get plenty of exercise but one kitten is overweight. I can't figure out how to put him on a diet when there are 7 other cats in the house who eat the same food from the same place... The kittens don't like canned food. The only thing I could think of is to keep the overweight kitten in a room by himself and measure out his food. The problem with that is that means he would either have to be alone 24/7 which would make him miserable, or he would have to be alone in the room all day and then I could put the kittens in the room with him at night with no food, but if I did that none of the kittens would get any food for 10-12 hours during the night. I can't figure out how to do this.
