I need some help with feeding recommendations for my first cat, Atari. Recently I’ve been watching her and she seems to be gaining weight (recently being over the last two months). She’s currently on a local brand called Kirkland Cat Food, being fed 1/3 a cup a day and normally she doesn’t eat all of it. She and the other cat are both fed at 8 am and 6 pm for breakfast and supper (the other cat is on a different diet because she’s newly adopted and too skinny). Atari has recently decided that she does not want to play with any of her toys so I’m ordering a Da Bird cat toy along with a neko fly cicada and a butterfly toy to see if she will play with any of those, I do believe her lack of activity is helping her put on weight but I’m worried that her food is not helping.
I ‘need’ to bring her back down to a healthy weight because right now she’s carrying around a ‘dangling gut’ and I’m worried she may get arthritis or diabetes or any number of other problems. Any suggestions on what or how much to feed her to help bring her weight down to a manageable level?
For some background; Atari is almost four years old, has never had kittens, is spayed, is an indoor only cat, has all her shots, is not showing signs of being ill, and is a spoiled brat of a princess.
