Not to distract from your original question, but I implore you to RUN as fast as you can away from this food. After you read the info on the link above, you'll understand. Dry Science Diet Light is the reason your cat is obese. Find a good quality, low-carb canned food and transition over to that, eliminating all dry. It's better for your other cats as well. You can leave wet food out for free-feeding, if that's a concern (lots of people do this, me included). I should also add that any weight loss in a fat cat needs to be done slowly so that hepatic lipidosis doesn't rear it's ugly head. Let me know if you have any questions.
