Just been to vets for 2 yr old cat's annual check and we've been totally fat-shamed. Fat Cat is 4.75kg - against 3.7kg last year. Vet says that as she is a petite cat she should be c.4kg.
Fat cat has 2 pouches a day (1 in morning, 1 at tea time). There is a bowl of biscuits available - I put c.50g in and that lasts anywhere between 1-3 days. She also has some Dreamies c.10 per day.
Vet suggested sharing the pouch between the 2 main feeds (think Fat Cat will be most indignant!)
Vet also gave me a sample of Royal Canin Dental as I want to be able to look after Fat Cat's teeth but as she is not a lap cat there is no chance of me using cat toothpaste. Not sure how to add that to her diet whilst trying to cut back.
Any ideas/insight from you wise ladies about how to cut back on Fat Cat's diet would be gratefully received. Would also be good to know if you all think we are massively over feeding her as this is our first cat.
