I'm going to the vet tomorrow and am going to discuss raw food with her. Watching Ruthie get fat on "weight control" food is enough of a sign that something's off. She's only 4, we have a long time to go together, and I want to make sure it's quality time. About a month ago I switched her to the Blue Buffalo food, and I really think it's helping her. She was getting very lazy, and I thought "Oh, the kitten phase is finally over!" But now she's getting very frisky again, definitely has more energy. Maybe a raw diet will have a bigger impact and hopefully drop a few pounds.
