I took Rocky and Rumor in for their annual vet visit and vaccinations. I had been putting it off a little because I was busy and mainly because I dreaded it for them. They were both so wiped out after their final kitten vaccinations plus Rumor is so timid and afraid of other people.
Rumor was and still is traumatized. Poor little girl just shook and cried the whole time. On top of that I was told my little girl is too fat. Can you believe she weighs 11.9 pounds.
My vet said she understood that indoor only cats are overweight, she said she has 6 at home with weight issues right now. She told me to try switching them to a weight management food or at least one of the new Indoor Cat formulas. She also said since I free feed that I need to put out a measured amount once a day and when it's gone, it's gone. She said to do this at bedtime so they won't keep us awake. I've already tried this once last year and the cats drove me so crazy that I went back to keeping their bowls filled most the day. I'm so weak!
Any other suggestions on how to do this? I free feed and have failed miserably at trying to feed everyone in their own bowl at a certain time so I just need tips on ways to reduce their amounts yet still free feed to keep the harmony.
Here's a couple of pictures of the poor little kitties from a few days ago.
