Tortilla Cat is getting Chubby
I am a little worried that our cat, Tortilla, has become quite the chunk since we got her. The shelter said she was 9 pounds when we got her in May and the other night I weighed her at 13.5-14 (weighed twice holding her). She has the weird swinging belly chubby cats get. I am feeding her Purina Pro Plan indoor formula which is supposed to be helpful for weight management and hairball control (she is medium fur). I only give her one cup which is the recommended feeding and she is still big. DH keeps saying we should get her a treadmill. :o How fat it too fat? I don't want her getting in poor health!
My Peanut is a but rotund.
Since we are on the subject, my baby is about 15 years old now (I had to work for that). I've been feeding her dry Iams for her whole life. Peanut has always been pretty chubby and I'm noticing now as she gets older she's getting chubbier. Do you all think it would be OK to switch her to canned food at this point? I would like to get her weight down. I only have her so I can regulate the food supply easy enough. Are there any specific canned foods that are better for older cats like her?:)
