In reply to the discussion: I need recommendations for a tasty dry cat food [View all]csziggy
(34,136 posts)7. None are on a real "restricted diet" - Sabra just need to lose weight
All three are healthy young cats. Most of my concern is that with Sabra, at not quite two years of age, being so overweight, she could end up with diabetes. Since she is a rescue cat that tends to be very timid, there is no way either of us could give her daily meds
When we first adopted Sabra last fall, all she did was hide under the bed. She'd slink out at night to eat and use the litter box, but she got no exercise at all. Now she is out, moving around and carrying her tail up, even when she is moving away from us, and she plays with Lucas.
I've begun getting her to chase the laser, but she will only run up and down the length of the house once or twice. Lucas is good for four or five times before he quits.

I use Fancy Feast dry, but don't know if it will meet the needs of a restricted diet.

That's what I feed both my cat and my dog. It was recommended by the vet.

Yes, although Lucas is our only male cat, I don't want to have that happen to him
