Ok so my 8 year old male has been fat for 3 years now, he has never eaten anything but Iams. Now my 1 year old kitten is fat too. It just happened over the last month! I swear I have a pic of her last month and she was thin, now she's fat.
It has to be the Iams food, that's all either one of them have ever eaten. I want them to be healthy and lean again, so I am going to switch them to Science Diet Adult Light food.
I don't feel as if I feed them too much, the recommended dose on the bag is 1/3 cup of food PER DAY! I gave them both more than that I'll admit it. But even when I've cut back on the Iams food and stuck by the 1/3 C they still don't lose weight. I'm thinking Iams has too much fat or carbs for them, they are indoor only cats.
I would love opinions. Especially if you have successfully gotten your cat to lose weight.
