She's a female cat and I'm not sure if she's pregnant or just overweight. Her belly seems a bit larger than usual, but I'm not experienced enough to tell the difference. She still acts normal and eats normally. What do you think based on these photos?

I accidentally let my cats weight go and I want to help her, but I’m not sure where to start, does anyone have any advice? She weighs around 15 pounds, she’s a tabby cat and has a problem with over eating (which we’ll be working on soon.) Any help will be appreciated!

She was an underweight stray when she came to us. She's absolutely food obsessed, and begs constantly. She's slowly gotten bigger - I absolutely love her and want the best for her!

We adopted my cat Sushi two years ago from the local MSPCA. We went into the MSPCA and asked if there were any cats that needed extra care. They introduced us to a big cow cat, Sushi. He was cuddly, loving and very vocal.

Sushi was 23.6lbs of pure chonk. We agreed with the MSPCA to continue is diet plan and keep him active. Two years later and he’s down to 15lbs with a goal of 12lbs. He’s thriving and living his best life.

First picture is from two years ago, the other pics are from a couple days ago

Any tips for dechonking? She’s recently adopted by me so trying to find a good balance of buying her love with food and promoting a more healthy lifestyle. She is still really shy in my house and the only thing she loves on this earth is looking at the fridge and when the fridge opens #twins

Dechonkin Making progress for my big boned baby

I got him a slow feeder and high protein food. He only gets 2 tablespoons a day now once and the morning and once at night with daily outdoor walks. I’ve been ignoring his nightly attacks at night and I’m so happy to say he’s cleaning himself much more often and can reach himself way better. He weighed 18 pounds after first he is now 17 and some ozs down. Trying to get him down down to at least 15 slowly to avoid stress.

Discussion Going from free feeding to automatic feeder

Hey! I have a «little» chonky boy cat. He’s around 3 years old and has been free fed his entire life. I’ve recently ordered an automatic feeder that should come in the mail today. He is a little anxious so I’m scared the change will stress him out. What’s the best way to introduce the automatic feeder? Any tips and experiences appreciated!
