Just thought I would share that today is National Pet Obesity Awareness Day.

I suggest people download the dry cat food pdf calorie list. It's missing some foods but quite a few are on there - it would make for an easy quick reference.
Yeah - that's Billy and our crew.Originally Posted by mrsgreenjeens
We are too aware of Darko Tubbo's weight problem. He's been on a diet for about a month, and all the other cat's have lost some weight, but I think Darko has gained what they lost.I'm ready for Plan B, whatever that is!!

Tanna's problem is that she's young and tiny - kitten sized. But her belly doesn't know that.I've started cutting her back and she's off the pred. now, but just a little while ago I had to shoo her out of Tomas' food. She's just under a pound over weight.I honestly can't make her exercise more, she's a kitten and behaves like one - when awake she's bouncing around the house.
The site mentioned secret ingredients in treats - dog treats with sugar. Mars admits to adding blood plasma product to their Temptations at meetings (it is not listed on the packaging), I wonder what else they add to make them so additive to cats. Any idea if they're sneaking in anything funky, too? (I'm sure you've had to sit through those meetings talking about all of their products - candy and foods, too, and done the team building stuff)

And yes, the food never smells that bad when it's the finished product. Processing is a different matter entirely.
I had that problem, too. My two big kitties eat a lot and if I just feed everyone together, they'll gobble down their food and then push my two smaller kitties out of the way and eat theirs, too. The only solution I could come up with was to feed Tiny and Thufir in separate rooms so that I could control their portions.Originally Posted by mrsgreenjeens
