In reply to the discussion: about grain-free kibble (cross-posted from Pets) [View all]LWolf
(46,179 posts)36. I feed grain-free kibble to my cat and dog.
It's made a big difference for the dog. She's 10, and seemed to be slowing down some. Within a couple of months of no grain, she's back to her perky, energetic self.
The cat? She free-feeds it, and is quite fit and healthy. If she starts to gain weight, I'll quit free-feeding and portion it out to her.
It seems like it would cost a fortune to free-feed grain-free kibble to 10 cats, though.

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

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.
