Fat Cat

[sara3]

Colin is... fat. there, I've said it.

he is a big breed, but I can't keep making excuses for him! he's about 8 years old, and only eats Go Cat Complete (wet food upsets his tummy). I don't actually think he eats *that* much, but he wails for food every time he comes in the house (often), and I give him a very small amount.. so he's grazing all day, apart from when I'm at work.

any ideas? diet cat food?

Not all cats are hunters, in fact of all the cats i've owned over the years only one of them ever brought me dead things, mostly mice, voles and frogs. She did bring a live bird once but I freed it.

[ummmm]

I've had a few live birds. It's the only time I've seen my cat aggressive. Trying to hold him back while we catch the bird. He growled at us.

oh, thanks Helen!

Colin brought in a live birdie. I had to call a neighbour to get it out from behind the sofa!

I've been to the vet today with my cat who has been fed on go - cat dried food. He told me to stop giving this brand to the cat as it doesn't contain the proper nutrients for him. He's not overweight but does have tummy problems every nw and then. I was advised to go with either whiskers complete or the iams variety.
