Alert! Muldy becoming OBESE!
My Mulder is a young cat. She's just 1 year and a half. After being spayed in June last year she began to gain weight. A LOT. Now it's getting worse she can't reach her kitty butt to clean it anymore and she just looks like a circle with legs and a little head. She's not the fattest cat I've seen of course but that is no relief.
You will ask probably what do they eat. Recently and after trying so many things they both (Mulder and Scully) continued to reject about a month and a half ago they accepted the brand Go!. They eat both canned and dry. They are 100% indoor. Muldy is harness trained but she hates snow and it recently got so cold that it's out of the question. An obvious thing I thought was exercise so lately I make her chase the laser pointer every day. She gallops for around 10 mins from one spot to another with short breaks in between. One of the problems I see is that both cats have very different eating habits. Mulder likes to go to her bowl and eat all the food almost at once. Scully (who btw has zero weight problems) likes to grab a bite, leaves her bowl with food and one our later she comes back again and so on so it takes her hours to consume her portion so.... What happens?! Mulder goes to her bow and eats her food. I thought I could put Scully in a room for a while until she eats but she just takes way too long to lock her in a room I'm very concerned because obesity is bad for her (and everyone else including us) Any suggestions? Note: I don't know if she would accept a new brand of diet food since she is unimaginably picky along with her sister. It was a miracle they accepted Go! They do love kitty crack Friskies though But I dont let them have it. P.S. Now when she lies on her side my husband playfully calls her "beached whale" and then pets her. WE LOVE OUR GIRLS so much. Both
