  My Mom feeds me and Molly Wellness Healthy Weight and I've lost a good bit of weight on it.

  I would reduce portions rather than try a "weight control" food. Evo is a good food, but it is high in calories. Just try feeding less.

  I would feed less, do not switch to so called "diet foods" by your pictures you are not overweight, but maybe they are not updated?? Here is a link you can read. http://www.catinfo.org/feline_obesity.htm

  I agree with these guys, more controlled feeding is a good way to go first. I know many people who also feed senior formulas as a weight control alternative, they tend to be lighter, but quite as "diet". =;

  How much are the portions you are feeding now? Has the vet said your kitty is overweight? How much does she weigh? Tabitha is 11 months old and still technically a kitten so she does require more food then if she was an adult. She also may just be having a growing spirt b/c in the photos she looks pretty normal sized for her age. Please let us know how much you are feeding them - portion control may be all that is required. One thing to consider if you feel she may be eating her brothers food is feed them in seperate rooms. :?

  Hi. I was having trouble with being overweight and all (daddy called me big boned). we tried just lowering the amount of food but that didn't seem to work. after trying a bunch of different foods the one we all like is NOW Grain Free Weight Control. It is turkey and Duck. I have only been on it for about a week but my energy level is higher and mommy swears I've lost a bit. We really love it so I definetly suggest it.

  Eliminate the dry food, and you\'ll likely see some natural weight loss just from that.

  Thanks Catsters! I can always count on you lovelies for wonderful tips and pointers:) Tabitha and Milo get a 1/4 cup of dry EVO in the morning, then about 2.5 tablespoons of canned EVO at night. She only steals a little bit of food from him. On occasion, I do give her and my dogs some cooked egg yolk, 2 pieces of cooked meat (no seasoning), but not enough to make a dent. She's officially a year old now, and according to this chart (http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=0+1759&aid=660) she's overweight! hehe
