Do you feed your pets grain-free kibble?
I have a serious feeding problem in my house. Ten cats, and one is obese. We started her on a diet but the only way to do so is to feed the other kids the same. Just a few days later and we realize it's not working -- they're all hungry, not just O'Malley.
Someone suggested grain-free kibble as a way to get her to lose weight (because she compulsively eats kibble; that's why she's so big). And if we free-feed it the other kids won't be hungry.
Do you feed grain-free kibble? What is your pet's/pets' experience with it?
Thanks.

Try the "indoor formula". My huge one is back to a reasonable weight after the switch.

It depends. At the moment 3 permanent, one refugee, and two off-site with kids.

I've never heard that before. Is that info from a veterinarian, or your experience with your cat?

I've had a lot of cats throughout my life. They all seem to know the fart trick.

Gradually decrease the amount. If they walk away from the bowl, put it back in the bag.

"It seems like it would cost a fortune to free-feed grain-free kibble to 10 cats" -- yeah,
