I can tell you EXACTLY why she is so fat.

You are feeding her cat food.

If you wanna kill your cat, feed it cat food. Any kind of cat food. Doesn't matter whether it's high end or low end, it's all garbage.

If you want your cat to lose weight and be healthy, feed it meat and some veggies mixed together that you would eat yourself.

Cats can not digest carbs. Cat food is loaded with carbs. Not to mention fillers, preservatives, ash, garbage, bottom of the barrel from the rendering plant that is completely unregulated. Again, all cat food regardless of what your vet or anyone else tells you is going to kill your cat.

Here's my story:

I inherited Spook from my ex. She was about 11 at the time and very overweight. She had been fed "diet" cat food for years by my ex and had not lost an ounce.

I took her to see a vet who is a big believer in naturalpathic vetranary service after my local vet wanted $1,100 to clean her teeth.

This vet told me that all processed animal food is poison and garbage. She told me that often vets are in the business of selling cat and dog food cause there is good money to be made. (She refuses to sell any of it ever.) (Vets also love to prescribe drugs, because again, there is big money in it. My vet abhores prescriptions unless it's a last resort.)

Instead, she gave me a recipe.

Roasted chicken, or turkey or oily fish - sardines, tuna, salmon, etc.

Take some raw Beans, peas, carrots, brocolli, cauliflower, carrots. Put the veggies in a food processor and mix to a pulp.

Mix veggies and meat in the ratio of 80% meat to 20% veggies.

Add some parsley for chlorphil, or brewer's yeast, or wheat grass.

Mix it all up.

Feed the cat this.

My cat is down from 16 pounds to 9 in about a year and holding at 9.

Keep in mind, she had never lost an ounce on Eukanuba Crap Diet Cat food.

You will see.

Cat's can not digest carbs or rice. It all turns to fat. Cats are almost pure carnivores.

I have a great deal of respect for this vet. She's been right on the money. Oh, and she cleaned my cat's teeth of tarter for $48.00 (vs. my vet who wanted $1,100.)
