My Muffin was found as a 5 year old; declawed and cast out of her home. She was so thin that at first we thought she was a kitten. We took her in, and in less than a year she ballooned to 19 pounds. Our vet gave us all kinds of very expensive weight reduction foods. We played that game for 3 years with no change.

Please look into the raw diet for Lexi. Just Google feline raw diet. We use the Better in the Raw supplement. You make the food yourself, and freeze it. It is actually cheaper than canned food.

Muffin gets a half cup, morning and night, and she is now down to 13 pounds. Best of all, her constant shedding has stopped, and she is so active that she brings toys to us so she can play fetch when we throw them. Give the raw diet a try. No more stinky cans, or stinky litter boxes. Even their toilet duties smell less. Our vet couldn't believe the change.

Have a great day, Lexi!
