My boyfriend was not taking good care of his cats when I met him
My boyfriend was not taking good care of his cats when I met him. He bought them for his kids. He would buy the two cats the cheapest food; one of the cats had a predilection to being very active and hyper while the other was less active and blew up like a cow. The rotund one seemed to be sensitive to the ingredients in cheap cat foods, swelling up and staying sluggish and lethargic all the time. He did not seem like a happy creature, just a very tired, bored one. I researched a bunch of methods to help indoor cats lose weight. My friend who had owned cats for years recommended this food, but said it was a bit expensive. I convinced my boyfriend to split the costs with me, alternating turns buying bags when we ran out and we were able to get the food. In total we spend $120.00 per year feeding 2 cats. $120 split in half is $5 per month for each of us, which I think is doable. So if the cats are a family effort, I believe that the cost is worth it. The cat lost a lot of weight. He was able to climb down the stairs safely without falling. He was also able to easily jump on the cat tree we bought them. After two weeks of the food it was like night and day. He would walk around, play with his brother cat (pick on him a little too), and play with cat toys. These were activities he never engaged in before.. At that time the weight loss wasn't noticeable but the cat's change in disposition was clear. After two months the weight loss was apparent. After four months he was so lean compared to his original size. Both the cats coats became shiner. He is still not the weight of a normal cat 1 year later but he is making great progress...I mean he weighed 30 pounds to start off. He is about 17 pounds now. Not to mention they LOVE the food and never turn up their noses to it! They couldn't wait to eat the first time I brought it out of the bag. Now we have two happy, healthy cats!
