Question:

MY CAT HAS PUT ON WEIGHT, AND ALTHOUGH I AM FEEDING HIM IAMS (MEASURED) WEIGHT CONTROL FOOD, HE DOESN'T SEEM TO LOSE ANY WEIGHT. I CAN'T LET HIM OUTDOORS DUE TO HAVING NO FRONT CLAWS, HE IS A DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR. HE GREATLY PROTESTS IF I CUT THE FOOD BELOW 1 CUP PER DAY. ANY SUGGESTIONS? HE IS 4YO AND WEIGHTS 13LBS.

Answer:

Cut out 1/3 of his diet. Cats have to loose weight SLOWLY or they can develpoe hepatic lipdosis.. Good luck, vetcare
