Wow!!!

I think that's a bit large for a siamese. My RB Starr,who looked a lot like your cat and he was a Flame Point Siamese Mix, was always very petite at about 8lbs. This was until he had to take prednisolone for his IBD/Colitis problems and then he became a whopping 13lbs.

This was way too much for him and he could barely get around any more and it really affected his health.

My Pearl is a Lynx Point Siamese Mix and she usually weighs 8-9lbs. She's very active and always on the go so she's always burning up the calories she consumes. My Sky is a Norwegian Forest Cat with probably some Siamese in him and he's only about 12-13lbs but that's because he's a much larger cat because of the Wedgie in him.

What has your vet said about his weight? What kind of food are you currently feeding him and how much and how often? Some cats eat when they're bored or stressed. I don't free feed any more and I feed my cats 4 small meals a day. I also feed them a grain free high protein diet of Innova Evo dry and some Innova Evo canned as well as Natural Instinct canned.

I haven't weighed Ming in awhile, but he's BIG!! I can safely say he's over 20 lbs. My other cat, McGyver, is dwarfed by him. Mac's a mere 7 lbs., but he's alpha cat. Funny how that works out.

My meezer Coco Puff weighed 11 lbs. last weigh-in, I think.

the vet said she only wants him to lose 3lbs. i fig more is fine lol. i was only giving him a small wet can at night and 1/2cup dry once at day n night, so 1cup dry and 1 can wet. i cut that back to 1/2cup all day when he started getting big but he only just turned a yr old. the vet said that wasn't a bad amount. he is active fun playful no problems moving or anything lol. he doesn't even cry when there is no food out.

I don't believe that Siamese are normally big cats, it's just that Ming is on meds and they have put some weight on him. He is a very tall, long, solidly built, cat, and before he went on meds, he weighed about 13 lbs. I have to leave food out, dry, for my cats all day as my vet has order Mac to put on weight! Mac used to be about 9 lbs., but now he tips the scales at about 6 or 7 lbs. D*med if I do, d*mned if I don't.
