One of our cats, who was a little, shall we say, "chubby," had a spell where he lost his normal appetite. The vets were concerned he's develop Fatty Liver Disease that if he did not start eating. Luckily for us, he started eating!<br /><br />Hugs to you all! :)meowmeowmanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12513539249219283256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-35563335943862990782012-04-03T10:50:30.525-05:002012-04-03T10:50:30.525-05:00We split a 3 oz can in the AM (Maxie gets the juic...We split a 3 oz can in the AM (Maxie gets the juice & Allie & I get the solids) and in the PM.

That's how we found out about it. I'm still very active so I burn up my food. I've become a very picky eater. I eat half a 3 oz can for breakfast; a 3 oz pouch of grain-free for lunch which I barely lick the soup out of; and a 3 oz can of my favorite Fancy Feast for dindin. Dinner is the only meal where I clean my plate. i also have some crunchies I can nosh on. How much I eat really depends on how much I play. No, I have many wand toys but not DA Bird.Cathy Keishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237575721246947408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-45712586204538752652012-04-02T22:30:46.128-05:002012-04-02T22:30:46.128-05:00Maxwell: *nods wisely* those warning bells, yes!Maxwell: *nods wisely* those warning bells, yes!A Tonlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08088764837982515116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-46163223628239836572012-04-02T22:29:57.315-05:002012-04-02T22:29:57.315-05:00FaRADaY: Sparkle, Mommy's glad you mentioned t...FaRADaY: Sparkle, Mommy's glad you mentioned that cuz she was just thinking about this on her way home today.

None of us kitties here have ever been overweight because we were never fed that much to begin with! Right now, Binga and Boodie get an all-canned, grain-free diet (I am thin and ultra-picky so I get anything I will eat plus an appetite stimulant). For breakfast, they get a 3-oz can split between the two of them. For dinner they get a 6-oz can split between them. That's it! Sometimes a few treats, and Binga steals some of my dinner sometimes. And they are not small cats - Boodie is between 10-11 pounds and Binga is between 9 and 10. And they are quite active and playful even though they are both over 10 years old. I think people don't realize that kitties don't need all that much to eat.Sparklehttp://www.sparklecat.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6230122208316058154.post-49147406871215682642012-04-02T17:19:51.856-05:002012-04-02T17:19:51.856-05:00What a great article!
