What is a Furminizer? I have never heard of that. What does it do? Where do you get one?

Thank you for your help.

Iams supports vets. Go into any vets office and 99% of the time if they carry food and the like, it will be Iams brand. IMHO Iams is marginally better than the big-box food, but only marginally. The vets ought to know better, the tech is probably repeating the Iams reps propaganda. The vet might very well parrot the company propaganda, too, since there is a sponsorship thing Iams has with them.
Again, IMHO, if you want to feed Iams, save some money and feed the cheapo stuff. If you want to spend Iams type money, buy something better.
Beautiful cat. Feeding her and loving her are good ideas, but I wouldn't worry about fattening her up specifically - with the proper care that will happen anyone. And, if it doesn't, that will mean another vet visit
