    Absolutley not! I don't think we could make him fat if we tried! Such a picky boy, he gets tired of eating a certain treat every once and a while.

    Nope, not at all! Even if I did overfeed them, my two are soo energetic they'd burn it off, anyway. They could probably use more to eat, actually

    Winston could stand to lose a few pounds in my opinion, my parents (mainly my Dad) don't think so. Plus, he's their dog so I can't do a whole lot about it (except make sure he gets enough exercise). He's finally on a diet though, hopefully that'll help him. He really only needs to lose about 5-7 pounds.

    I'd consider the others to be in pretty much perfect condition. Honestly, I don't think Tango could ever become overweight. She's a very picky eater and every time I feed her I have to sit with her and make sure she eats or else she'd probably starve herself...

    Yes i have to admit it both my kitties are and were not when i got them, and i do feel guilty about it, lexie is a much smaller cat in stature than Ash who is a large cat anyway, and is fast catching up in the weight department, however i do not feel i overfeed her, she has a small cup of biscuits daily, but i think they are high in fat because she sure has piled it on, Ash would be better off slimmer too as he is suffering from arthritis.

    My 3 are perfect weights. Murph just trimmed off a couple of pounds in the last 6 months and it's definitely helping with his arthritis.

    Zsa-Zsa's managed to retain a little middle-age spread, but she doesn't eat like she used to so she has shed a few lbs since her earlier years. Tia is fine, and Foxy may possibly be a little underweight, even though she stuffs herself silly with all the treats we give her

    LOL Katie's a little tub ball - I started buying her light dry food and it seems to be helping a bit. She has a belly on her. She loves her dry food, eats a little soft food a day, and doesn't care much for treats. Belle on the other hand, is a skinny little thing and her favorite time of day is feeding time Funny how that works...Roscoe is at a pretty good weight right now, he was really skinny when we first got him but he looks much healthier now

    Autumn could lose 3-5 pounds. She looks a lot fatter in a full winter coat but when the fur gets trimmed it takes off 5 pounds. Sonny is just a big tom cat.

    Mandy needs to lose about 5 lbs but we are working on it. She has lost about 15 lbs since I started working at the vet, but these last 5 lbs are haaaard to get off her. Luka and Nova are the perfect weight.

    What if they had a medical problem that made them that way?
