So I just weighed my cat and he’s 6.5kgs!!!!!
I knew he’d put on a few pounds but I am a bit shocked. He came to us Age 4 last year weighing just under 5 Kg but Had only just been neutered and we were told he’d gain a bit of weight. This seems excessive now though, that is quite heavy isn’t it? Or is that acceptable?
I feed him 60g of the Arden grange light Dry food a day (I weigh it out!), and half a small tin of the supplementary cosma food(chicken breast or tuna usually) So I honestly don’t think he’s over fed unless I’m missing something about how fatty the supplementary food is?
Problem is he’s lazy, even by cat standards. He goes outside but just sits around in the garden.
He gets played with every day so does run around a bit but obviously not enough. Tried lots of different toys but he gets bored quite quickly.
I don’t know if perhaps he was a bit under weight when we got him and he’s just more a natural size now? I can feel his spine and ribs although as you can see from the photo he defo has a tummy on him...
Pic of him in all his tubby glorious-ness attached.
Any ideas of how to get him moving more? He’s happy enough but I don’t want him to be unhealthy.
