cat help: My cat is extremely fat. - Help.com

the fat one definitly needs a diet or it will get diabeaties.
Cats are quick learners.
Have a time u feed them and stick to it.
Lock fatty in another room with his smaller portion.
Dont leave bisciuts avalible all day, remove them after they have eaten as much as they want.

trust me, cut back. and look out for wheat glutten(I think thats it) in food. got a diabetic cat myself, gotta give him insulin daily.

some animals are just free-eaters (everything insight) and it would be hard to separate yours. Sounds like you’ve tried a lot of things. Did the vet check for diabetes? I have dogs,two of them stop when they are full and the third one, well, he would eat until he exploded. I keep them separated, except for exercise and paly time. They have two different diets, too. A caring owner tries everything and I think you have. Maybe contact a cat specialist. I know of one down where I’m at but I don’t think I can post the web site,sorry

To walliedoodle, much luck and sheis a very lucky kitty to have so much love. She is probably very happy. The whining they learn, I have one cat and I swear she is so rotten. I can tell exactly what she wants, by the type of whining that’s going on. Cats are trippy-good luck with separating them. It takes a lot thought and energy to be creative with the felines.

hahaha fat cat, my cat is about 12 pounds and i think shes fat.

How about you get a timed feeder? It releases food at whatever settings you have.

Who ate all the pies?

You guys are great at this time of night-I got back up because I can’t sleep and there is a peaceful, funny and helpful dialogue happenin’ so peace to you all and to all a good night…I know what yoou’re sayin’!

give it tuna. j/k play with her buy her toys. why dont you isolate the cats at feeding time. buy her a toy that she can chase. tie food to it to make sure your cat follows it.

If you add a little more protein in her diet like tuna and less starch, she should start losing weight. Although I do have a puggy Beagle. My Beagle would eat until it burst also. I don’t know what that is.

There are websites that offer recipes to make treats for cats and dogs at home and they don’t contain a lot of gluten. The higher the carbohydrates, the more we gain weight. So I suggest reading the labels and buy high-protein and low-carbohydrates dry food plus add a spoonful of tuna.

I have two cats, and one of them is the right weight, and the other is overweight. We tried feeding both of our cats less, but the fat one ends up eating the little ones food, too. So we brought him to the vet and asked if there was anything to do, and he didn’t say there was anything except feeding him less and trying to get him to exersice more.

Just feed the cats in separate rooms so the bigger one can’t get to the other food.
And try and get like a string or something and have the cat chase it around the house for exersice.

Hope this helps.

I see a lot of cat toys at garage sales. But, you can make a cat clawer by taking four pieces of wood and making them into a box 18 inches log. At the carpet stores they sell these rug samples for a couple of dollars. Buy and staple it to the wood box. You can use a hanger to wire to the box and then tie a rope to it. Hang it up where it’s in the cat’s path and they will have fun with it. At the garage sales I have seen these cat trees for sale. They are really fun for the cats. If you have some catnip you can rub it on the carpeting and they will jump for joy. Hope this helps.
