He is a beautiful boy. Even roly-poly. ha-ha. You could race each other around the yard or thru' the house. That would do it.

good luck with the Pet FIt Challenge

Re: Pet Fit Challenge

Perhaps I could send my overweight beagle mix to visit you for a few weeks. She could chase Tux around the house with you running after. In a short time everyone will be fit and pounds lighter (LOL I am joking about sending my pooch but I suppose you could borrow a neighbor's dog if you for some reason think this is a good idea!)

Re: Pet Fit Challenge

I have to check out the Pet Fit Challenge! I weighed my cat recently and he was 18.4 pounds, just about the same as Tuxedo. He's a big tom cat, but that's still way too heavy.

And this is after I've been trying to get him to lose weight for months! And he actually gained weight! Then I discovered he was going into a back closet of the laundry room where the extra bad of food was and eating from a hole he'd ripped open in the side. It's so frustrating.
I finally cut back his food more and he's really mad about it, poor baby. He's totally food obsessed. I'm trying to exercise him by having his chase a laser pointer light up and down the stairs. But it's a lot of work just to get him up and down those stairs a few times.
I hope it goes well for Tuxedo!

Re: Pet Fit Challenge

I have 3 cats and 1 dog. One of my cats is really overweight, I figure about the same as your Tux. I have a difficult time getting my "Pounce" to lose weight because I have two other cats that also have to eat. Even though they have their own bowls, Pounce will help herself to Frisco & Karat's food. I work all day, so I need to leave dry food for them. If I don't leave food out because of Pounce, then Frisco & Karat will go hungry and they don't need to lose weight. Any suggestions would certainly be welcomed.

Good luck on the PetFit Challenge!

Kitty Weight Watchers away!

Re: Pet Fit Challenge

I had a cat, MR. C (and he was addressed as MR. for a reason!!) He weighed in at 22 lbs, and he used every ounce of it to rule the house and the world. He was a big guy and pretty solid. I think I would have paid dearly had I taken any of his food away! lol
Good luck to reaching the goals!

Re: Pet Fit Challenge

Good luck! You both will feel so much better with the exercise and weight loss.

Re: Pet Fit Challenge

I have the same problem with my sweet boy Oscar. He weighs about 22 or 23 pounds. I have tried to limit his food,but I have 3 other cats and like the above writer stated about her cat,Oscar helps himself to everyone elses food.I have even caught him in the dog's dish a time or two. Oscar too,is totally obsessed with eating. He is very healthy besides that,but I just don't know what to do. The other cats are actually kinda small (no doubt as to why) ,so I leave out their dry food so they can get something to eat. Please help!!! I am worried about all of them.
