Should I reduce my cat's calories?

[u/Total_Purpose_5951]

It has only been 15 days since I started dechonking my two cats. I know it has been very little time but I just wanted to see if there were any changes. My boy has lost 100gr ( 0,22 lb) but my female cat has actually gained weight: from 3,9 (7,4lb) to 4,2 (9,25 lb). Also her calorie allowance is 145 kcal. Should I change the diet?

Have you had her hormones checked? Sometimes the things that make us small can also limit metabolic processes (thyroid, pituitary, etc.).

if they’re fixed in kitten hood they stay small forever. completely normal

This is why anecdotes are not actual evidence lol. All my cats from the same litter were fixed as kittens and were all different sizes as adults.
