I just adopted one as well and I started feeding her Iams weightloss & hairball. She's always had friskies during her 6 years with her previous owner. She recently had constipation. Is adding plain pumpkin the best solution??

LOL "I've tried all kinds of varieties ..... but she wants Friskies". The struggle is all too real. I totally understand this.

I’ve always used a measuring cup with the cat food and thought if I leave them out while I go to work it will be fine because the amount is supposed to be appropriate, but one of them got fat. It is because the adult cat keeps getting into the kitten’s food, she really prefers it for some reason. The kitten food has a lot more calories.

Compulsive eater kitties....the struggle is real!

This is very helpful, Dr. Martinez! I have three cats; one is very overweight who likes to bully and eat out of the other cats’ bowls when she’s done with hers; one is a male at normal weight with urinary issues and needs a prescription diet; the last is a female who had all of her teeth removed because of stomatitis. They all have different feeding needs, but your video has given me new insight into feeding. Thank you!

Thank you! I just adopted a tabby who has a little extra cushion, I’ve moved him to half a Can of wet food and just a little bit of dry food. he eats around the same time the dog eats, early in the morning and around 7pm at night. I have not left dry food out for him all day (as I noticed they did this all the time in the shelter) and instead feed him freeze dried salmon treats with lots of protein if he keeps meowing excessively throughout the day. I love my animals and thank you for helping me!

Also, buy cheap fuzzy mice--preferably gray as in nature, and play fetch. My rescue cat plays fetch/retrieve with me and my husband multiple times a day. We got her from a place that had the food out all day, dry and wet--too much especially since she was guestimated to be 1-2 years old. She is now--less than 1 month later, at an ideal weight with more muscle tone from our place sessions. I calmly tell her "I'm here, Kizzie" when she meows at night but otherwise never answer her and she settles down fine after that. You can see videos of her on my channel. She weighs 7 lbs.

Thank you! This was great advice

Excellent video. Thank you

Thank you for this video. The struggle has been real for about 5 years & has only gotten much worse this last year, as careful as I have been. I am zeroed in more closely now, as I feel I have more knowledge of this & I am determined to get my kitty to shed her extra pounds.

Thanks! I have 4 cats and 2 dogs, they’re all very fit because we live a very active lifestyle and feed them top quality food. I’m babysitting 2 cats for a while for a friend and I’m hoping they’ll both lose some weight since they’ll get a lot more exercise with my 4 fur babies 😊 We also have a 2 story 3 bedroom house with a lot of room whereas she lives in a small apartment 😊 We also give the cats 2 cans of wet food between the 4 of them and then they have some hard food through out the day, but not much. They mostly like eating the bugs they find in our sun room where they love to hunt ♥️

It's simple: commercial cat food is very high in carbs & that is what makes them fat. Cats are carnivores.

Im glad to know friskies canned food is ok my cat is overweight cuz my grandma (who hes been living with for the past couple yrs) is too lazy to feed them more than once every few days and she had 4 cats now has 2 she has big dog bowls that she fills to the top one of the cats gets a lot of exercise and self regulates food but the other is 20lbs when i took my cat who is about 16lbs i switched him to canned food but im on disability i cant afford the expensive stuff i can barely afford to give him canned food everyday instead of dry but i get the friskies canned food i figured its better than being on dry food im glad to know i was right ty

Thank goodness I saw this video. I’m over feeding my 4 babies.

Commercial Wet food was becoming expensive so I switched them to raw diet food. Best decision ever. Now I am working on exercising them more which means going outside on a leash.

She might need to be educated by an adult. Some vets might even be willing to tell her off in person during an appointment. They might even suggest that your cats not get any treats at all for some time. I would see if Jackson Galaxy, whose a cat expert, has any advice about this on the web. Good luck, sweetheart. I have hope that things can turn around for the better, and I mean that. I hope you do too. I’ll send good thoughts to your cats.

So much torture for the poor kitty all because the owner doesn’t set a diet plan! Automatic feeders are a great tool

Very helpful! How many times a day do you feed your cats? I feed mine half a can of friskies at 8am and the other half of the can at 7pm.

My newly adopted cat is on the chunky side. He weighs 14#, my Vet wants him closer to 12#, it's been a struggle. History of urine crystals Rx food is dry. I've never given any of my cats dry food so I'm finding it a challenge. Just recently I started to give him the single serve wet foods and the Rx food. The calories on foods is so confusing, why can't it be easy to figure out - sigh. I'm doing the best I can and hope to see a drop in his weight soon.

Doctor Martinez I adore your channel. I am wo derimg if you ever work with chickens. I have 2 special needs chickens and would love to hear what you think about chickens as pets. Please keep the videos coming. My chickens know your voice lol every time they hear you on the videos they run oven and cluck their little heads off hahahahaha. So Dande and Cosmo so hello...also my cats came running when they heard you pour the crunchies into their dish hahaha. Our latest rescue came in to us at 23 pounds and in a month hes down to 20 pounds. Anyway, all the best to you and all at the clinic. Cheers!

For those afraid of depriving "other" cats if only one is obese, just feed the obese one "after" the others, close off the room where the other cats eat, let them finish, put their dishes away, then get out the obese cat's food and let that cat come in with the door closed against the rest. There are timer-dishes for those who can afford them but feeding cats--only in this sense--like people on different diets and schedules, makes sense and safeguards the health of all. ADDITION: Eating doesn't take that long so you can always close off a bathroom area if that is safer and insures the other cats cannot get at the obese cat's food, or the other way around. Then put all clean dishes and closed food up and away, repeat at the next meal time. It won't take long with this--and some play time--to see the muscle increase and fat decrease. I feed Kizzie Wellness no grain pate (3 ounce can that I remove some from) and "one" sardine in oil (not smoked) per day.

My cat got a bad infection 6years ago and after the surgery she tripled in size. I mostly managed to secure her weight as she doesn't gain more for a few years now, but making her lose some is hard. I don't want to push her since she finally got to adapt, and since she also got breathing problem I'm scared a diet change might be bad, but maybe if I introduce slowly wet food over dry a bit more often it'll help her 🤔

Dr. Greg, do your cats eat the dog dish diet food? I remember seeing an earlier video of you making it in the crock pot and I believe it was Mokie who liked it. I have a fat cat at home and am trying to help him lose weight.

I have a question about my almost 9 year old Golden Retriever. Toby has a solid feeling lump in his diaphragm area. To me it feels about the size of a small grapefruit. The vet said his lymph nodes are NOT swollen. Being that his lymph nodes are not swollen could it be something other than the dreaded C word? He is scheduled for lump removal early October 2016. The vet also said it seems that the lump is intertwined in some muscle... Any opinions would be helpful DR, Martinez.

My cat has good genetics she could literally eat all day and is in great shape.

I've been trying so hard to make my cat lose weight. I also had to work very hard to get her to try any wet food but there was one day where I couldn't go to the store to buy more and the next day we were back to square 1 and I gave up. She only accepted the most expensive wet food too, possibly because it has a particular smell that she associates with her and her kittens being trapped so they could be rescued. I'm just lost on what to do.

I’ve been having difficulty getting one of my cats, Inkblot, to lose weight. While she isn’t morbidly obese, as I can still feel her ribs, her belly is noticeably rounded. Her brothers are larger than her as far as height and length go, and it’s hard to cut down on her food without feeling like I’m depriving our other two cats as they’re a healthy weight for their size. Inkblot DOES wrestle with her brothers and such, so she gets a bit of exercise, but she doesn’t run around like crazy like the other two do. Do you have any tips?

@helenanilsson5666

2 жыл бұрын

I hope Inkblot is doing better now since I'm 2 years late with this advice, but if you're ever in this situation again you can try feeding the cats separately. I think the easiest thing is if they all have their own cat carriers that are always out, and then you put the food in the carriers and close the doors while they eat. That way they get individual portion sizes and no one can steal food from the others. It feels a little weird from a human perspective because we are used to thinking of eating as social bonding time, but cats are solitary hunters so they probably won't mind having their own peaceful quiet nook to eat in.

My cat is gaining serious weight.. Just in the last week his weight gain is noticeable.. He doesn't even eat that much... I figured its because he is neutered... He plays alot like a normal cat.. He is still athletic.. He just seems to gain weight immediately... I even cut back on can food and it doesn't help... I always thought neutered males just got fat because they have no testosterone...

I have a 8 years old female indoor cat , sterilized, she is overweight, weighting 11.9 pounds, I ve been feeding her royal Canin dry food all her life since she doesn't like wet food ( she only licks it but won't eat it ) I am wondering how much grams of dry food per day she should have , I was feeding her 45 grams per day do you think I could give her 35 grams for a couple of weeks and see the result ? She has got a bit lazy as well doesn't play much and spends most of her time relax or sleeping. Thank you.

My cat is 14... she used to be 13lbs and we got her down to 11lbs... however she has had a saggy belly since she was 3. Even after losing weight and being incredibly healthy (very active for age) she still has a belly that sags (about 2 inches from the floor)

I had my cat on a gravity feeder and after 6 years my vet finally said she could probably use a diet. I asked him how. He said fill a bowl in the morning with Iams kibble. When she quits eating, remove the bowl. Repeat for dinner. Then that is the amount to feed her everyday. Nice simple plan if you need to put your cat on a diet.

You should feed the wet and dry food separately.

My tubby kitty only eats dry food, so I pour a little water in with his dry food to hydrate him and also help him feel more full! He had a uti in the past, so this also helps flush out any bacteria! Most fat cats are so motivated by food that they will drink the water to get to it :)

Most cats will be their ideal weight or close to it if you feed them their ideal food. Cats food should not be left out because they should not be eating died carbohydrate pellets. They should be eat moisture rich high meat food with skin bones and secreting organ meat, preferably raw. They are have more sustained energy without the highs and lows. Smaller harder poops with less next to no smell. They drink less water but are more hydrated since they are getting most of their water from their food as nature intended. They have beautiful coats with less dander, and to top it off they live longer and healthier lives. 5 years ago I transitions from kibble to wet food, then from wet food to homemade lightly cooked food, then to raw food. This took me about 6 weeks and there were bumps in the road. Shadowstep was was 12 at the time and his health was declining, he was definitely showing strong signs of aging. In 6 months , well before, he was a new cat looking, acting and moving like a cat half his age. Now my cat is 17 while I can see he is starting to get cataracts he is still healthier than he was at 12 before I changed his diet.

My cat has a very athletic build body type and he doesn't look like normal cats... I want to know how he is getting these mussel mass and he is eats normal dry cat food... something wrong with him? any type of cancer???

Spaying and neutering can also cause fat kitty syndrome. My cat was a stray who was pregnant. She had 4 kittens. Once they were weaned I had her spayed and she doesn't have a weight problem. One male is spayed. He's fat. The other male is intact. He's slender. The two females are both spayed. One is really fat. They eat the same. All once a day. I ordered a cat wheel to get them started on a weight loss journey. I'm not saying spaying and neutering is a bad thing. I just think if you can wait a little longer than 5-6 months their bodies can tolerate it a lot better.

Feed them less. I was also thinking that I was feeding my overweight kitty less but it was still a lot! They can lose the weight they just need to eat less.

So, if feeding a cat wet AND dry food would the recommended total daily serving be: Half (5.5oz can) wet food & 1/4 cup dry food? --So, 1/4 can wet, 1/8 cup dry... 2x daily? I have one (8yrs) cat who is about 11lbs and another (sister kitty, 8yrs) who is about 6lbs. So, I'd like to get my bigger kitty back at his healthy weight!

Dark Masochist is he fluffy?

My cat is very big, and I think she's going to die... what can i do? I don't really understand the video..

My cat is always hungry because of prednisone and bites my fingers and swats my phone when she is hungry. Annoying.

My cat is 22 pounds and only eats dry cat food I need to get his weight down bur don't know how to start.

You say no cat especially overweight should have even close to a cup, and say around 200 but that chart shows that my 17 pound cat should have well over 300. I’m confused. I give her about 200-240 calories a day.

My cat was neutered then he became a chonker.

I never feed my cat hard food and she got obese. Why?

Can you please make a video saying how to tell if your dogs tail is broken?

That's normal, all fixed females get a saggy belly from the surgery

Yup! There's another thing called primordial pouch and it's just saggy skin on the stomach. As long as it's not fat filled and just skin it's fine and healthy

I have a fat cat that has a weird thing where he bites ferociously at his paws when petting his back.. I wish I could figure out whats wrong.

Is he making his paws bleed? Maybe he's a little bit feral, and is sensitive to being pet. Other than that, I wonder if he has diabetes, causing his paws to feel numb or something.

fktcd That would be fucking terrible, Ive had him sense he was a kitten, so hes not feral.. Ive also took him to my vet, but I almost want a second opinion.. I would hate for something to happen to the lil guy..

CJ Ware You should make sure he gets canned food. Maybe food from the vet. It doesn't have to be weight management food, just whatever he will eat, and is healthy, it could make a big difference.

My cat is about 10 and over weight. He weighs about 18-20 pounds. I have tried a lot of fancy weight control kibble to no avail. I try to only give him a little a few times a day but he runs us with his crying and complaining to feed him every time we walk anywhere near his food or even if I stand up. It’s driving us crazy and we are worried about him. 1. I’m going to try wet food again 2. He doesn’t want to exercise...should I get another cat so they can play together?

Ur finger was insulting moki

Is it possible to put water in the dry food and make wet food ? Will it be the same as wet food ??
