Cat Weight

Weight Control in a Two-Cat House

Exercise alone won't help a cat lose weight. The two cats may need separate mealtimes.

You might want to try to limit the amount of dry food that Maggie eats. Over the years many of my clients have solved this problem in different ways. You might try placing Tozi's food up on higher grounds, preferably a place that Maggie is unable to reach. Then you'll want to place a little food down lower where they both (or probably primarily Maggie) have access to it. If all else fails, you might consider separating the two during mealtime.

Thanks so much for your advice to feed canned food and separate cats if necessary for weight loss/control in one of them. I have a 13 pound 1year old and a thin to medium build second cat and didn't want to deprive the small one. They are on dry but I will limit or omit it and feed canned to see if that will help the obese one.
Thanks Again!
