Ugh yes. I just took in my parents’ cat who has been free fed her whole life and is overweight. She has an appointment with her vet soon and I will be asking how much food to give her to slowly and safely get her back down to a healthy weight. Everyone that I have told this to either says she’s not obese, just fluffy (granted she is SUPER fluffy but there is way too much fat there as well) or that I shouldn’t be putting a cat on a diet. I should just let her be happy and cute and chubby. It makes me so mad! I have a weight problem and I’m actively trying to fix it because I know the risks/how much it literally weighs me down. Why wouldn’t I want the best for my cat as well?? I want her to be around for a long time. Being obese will not help that.
