One of the three resident cats at my place is huge. His owner said 'round about 25 pounds. He's also 15 years old and has been that fat for quite some time. I've protested the feeding of this cat, which came with another cat who is super skinny, and also nearly 15 years old. Food is always available to them, and it's making my cat (who is nearly 3 years old) fat.
The problem with only feeding a couple times a day apparently, is that Ceasar doesn't chew when he's super hungry. Not chewing causes him to barf all the food, in whole chunks, all over the kitchen floor on his way back to the couch. He does this every couple of days or so anyway, usually in the morning. He'll also howl, incessantly, if there's no food available.
He also wont exercise. He doesn't walk, so much as hobble, and it's really pretty sad. He has to take a break to rest between the kitchen and the couch. If you wave any kind of of enticing cat toy at him he'll only roll over and sort of wave his paws in the air.
I'm still planning on trying to regulate their food intake, which is the indoor cat formula of Science Diet. Mostly for the sake of my cat.
