Hi guys, just after a little bit of advice. I have three cats Sammy, Tigger and Felix. Sammy and Felix are my little boys and both have been fixed and I have no real issues with them. Tigger however, my little girl who has also been fixed, has gained so much weight since and I'm concerned it could affect her health.
Starting from the beginning. I took Tigger (she was a very friendly stray) into my home when she was around 1 year old, I'd had her about 9 months when she had kittens. I had her spayed when she went in to have a cesarean section. Since then she has become lazy, she doesn't want to go out much, she's not as playful as she was and shes doubled in size. She's bigger than she was during pregnancy (note that she had only 3 kittens and one of those was very very small, half the size it should have been).
Am I worrying myself too much, she has a rather healthy diet, I don't feed her scraps or too many treats and she has only the recommended daily amount of cat food. The vet doesn't seem too concerned but I've had some issues with him in the past regarding his veterinary knowledge (or lack of). I have attached a photo of her below.
The top photo is her 1 week before she had kittens. The bottom photo is her now.
