The vet told us our girl cat was too fat. She said - feed them dry food only, with raw meat /chicken etc as a treat (maybe once a week). She also said once a day and about 1/2 cup each is all they need. Their bowls are often empty when we fill it in the morning, but they are certainly not starving - the girl has lost a lot of her "pudgy" tummy as well.

Our boy cat will fetch a tennis ball (carries it back in his mouth) - not all the time but pretty often.

Also - the mother cat teaches the kittens to go in the litter - no other training necessary. We used a spray bottle on the cats when they were kittens to keep them off stuff we wanted them to stay away from - and they have (by and large) learned it.
