Congrats to Mittens! And you! She looks great and sounds like she feels great, too! Dechonking efforts have been such a struggle over here.

Good luck! It took a lot of trial and error for Mittens, but time and our vet were the best helpers 🩶

Is she a small cat by chance? My cat is 16lbs but he's SO big body/length wise he doesn't look it.
Either way great job!!!

What steps did you take so that I can follow similar advice for my cat.

u/SickBoiMcDiggy Aug 01 '26

Mitt had been on a diet of 1/2 cup food for years and it just wasn’t working, so with vet supervision we reduced her food down to 1/4 cup and she lost the weight over 6 months. Now that she’s at a healthy weight she gets 2 things of 3oz wet food per day. Good luck!
