My vet said my cats are all obese!!

[swimmer]

I think I was more upset when she told me that than when my doctor first told me I was obese. I just put them on wet food. They are not happy. now they wake me at 4:30 am to eat!!! Any cat owners out there with an "obese" cat or cats??

Girlfriend had to put her cat on Prozac to deal with an overzealous Dachshund because it was getting UTIs from the stress. No more UTIs but it lost a LOT of weight.

I have 4 cats. They all get the same amount of access to the same food. Only one is fat. He's the one that was found starving at a post office parking lot. The woman that found him was vegan and she fed him a vegan diet for a few weeks until we took him in and he was given a normal cat diet. Getting him to leave the other cats food alone is a challenge.

What kind of sick person tries to turn a meat eating predator into a vegan? 😝 Poor fellow deserves the extra vittles!

Well .. she was just dumb. I don't think she intended to hurt him. All she saw was a starving animal eating the stuff she gave him. Now he gets nothing but cat food.

Two of mine are rescues and one I inherited from my grand daughter. I get why the homeless rescues might over eat but not the inherited one. He has lived a life of luxury since he was adopted. I hope the wet food works for weight loss. I don't think glp1s are used for cats yet. It is interesting Prozac is.
