Re: How to tell if your cat is overweight


George is overweight...
and has had his food changed to a hills prescription diet.. in an effort to get his weight down to a better level...
at present he is 7kgs... they have said he is allowed to eat 73 grams of this food per day until he gets down to 6 kg... and then they will drop it to 63 grams a day until he is down to 5kg... which is allegedly his ideal weight.. so far so good he is liking the food... hopefully that doesn't change as he is a fuss pot!
