In a response to Snowshoe2's post in Cat Health, I mentioned that I too had an overweight cat and was looking for ways to help him shed a few pounds. Paddy is now 18 pounds and he is an overeater. He's always hungry and when he eats, he takes HUGE mouthfuls of food as if he may never receive food again. It almost looks like he un-hinges his jaws so he can fit the maximum amount of crunchies into this mouth.
I'm going to try and supervise his feedings from now on and possibly try a weight control food but I'd also like to set up a cat agility thing inside to get him moving. I already have two 5 foot long collapsable tubes. I have a few cat trees that I can work into the course. Does anyone have any fun ideas on what I could add to the course that wouldn't be expensive? Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
Here is a short clip of Paddy eating his kibbles a few minutes ago. You'll see what I mean about his big mouthfuls! I had to use a flashlight on him because our little camera makes everything so dark.
Paddy's BIG bites!
