Hello everyone, this is my first post but I’ve been a long time lurker (thanks for all the how to feed your cat posts!!) So my husband and I adopted two tiny tigers from the pound last December and have been experimenting with foods since then. One kitty will eat any and everything and has no tummy issues, but he gained weight QUICK. His brother is a scarf and barfer and has had some poop issues. So Lemmy (the fat easy kitty) gets a can of Merrick LID daily and we also give 4 tablespoons of Merrick LID dry daily. Bowie (the skinny tummy issue kitty) gets 10oz of Weruva Paw Lickin Chicken, which gives him about 190 calories and he has to chew so it stops the scarf and barf and his poops are normal. Lemmy likes the dry food a lot so he eats more of it than Bowie, so they both get approximately 200-225 calories a day. Lemmy weighs in at 11 pounds but his tummy is round and hangs. I can feel his ribs and backbone so he’s not super obese but I can’t really judge him by the body scale charts. Bowie is a tall kitty and he weighs 9.5 pounds and his tummy sucks in right by his hind legs and again I suck at judging by the body scale. I’ve included some pics of them, if anyone could take a peek and tell me if I need to up or lower calories or if I’m just a little over worried. Bowie has the white face and paws and Lemmy is the all orange face.
