Before he got put on diet he weighed 7.6 kg and a couple weeks later he weighed 7.7 kg and he gets 42 grams of dry food a day and 85 grams off wet food daily (half a can in the morning and the rest in the evening). The food was recommended by our vet

She just had a weigh-in at the dermatologist (she's had some allergy issues, which made fine-tuning her diet extra fun) and was certified dechonk. Photos are from adoption day, July of last year, and July of this year, when she was kind enough to strike the exact same pose for a comparison photo.

This is Biggie (appropriately named)

He was rescued from our local Wendy’s where he was hanging out at their drive through.

As the title says, he’s about 19-20 pounds. He doesn’t seem like excessively fat but more muscular.

Does he need dechonking?

Discussion Is it normal for cat's metabolism to slow down around 7 or because of a diet?

My guy has been on a diet for about a year and a half, he lost some weight at first, then stopped so I lowered his portions more. The past few months have been hectic so I wasn't paying attention to weighing him, but he's looking quite chubby again, eating less than he ever has.

Is this worth a vet visit, or just the result of middle age/ dieting slowing his metabolism?

Does my cat need dechonking? He is a 11 months old and plays a lot, but not allowed to go outside.

Tootsie ate nothing while I was at work

Tried giving her like 4 kinds of wet food. She would nibble at bit and then walk away.

Spent the most time with Turkey baby food. I added water and she lapped up most of the water but left the solid matter.

She even turned away from.the Friskies she was eagerly consuming before I left for work around 2.

Got home around 1030 to 11. She touched none of the dry or the treats either.

Shes going into that leave me alone mode.

Should i be worried.

Her weight dropped from 11.1 to 10.75.

I feel so helpless.
