No doubt because he used to be very active and then suddenly had to be an indoor cat for several months. The other two have not put on any weight. Really not sure how to manage this, as I'm sure he'd benefit from losing some but it's tricky in a multi-cat household.
sallykate Sep 2023 10:17am, 14 Sep 2023 12,161 posts	0 sallykate At the moment I'm thinking to leave out only a certain amount of food overnight - 60g dry food, on the basis that that's pro rata what they'd eat in an eight hour period (between three). Then another 120g to keep them all going during the day.
