Daisees it wasn't my vet that said about the pouches but one of my friends in our village had taken her cat to her own vet for her boosters and it was her vet that weighed the cat and told her it was the wet food {pouches}that was making her cat fat because of all the nutrients in the food.Another friend in the village whose cats I am looking after at the moment because they are on holiday have both put on loads of weight over the last few months.Both of these friends feed their cats on Felix pouches,but not sure if there is something in them that is having and effect on their waistlines.All these cats are quiet young cats as well:D

Our two plus the pedigree one that has adopted us are fed on Tesco's Premium Beef in gravy pouches {when we can get them}and ours are all fine weight wise{they are eight}and the last time we took them for their boosters the vet examined them and said they were the best specimens of cat health that he had seen in years,so we must be doing something right :D

Our Willow has always been slim and a lightweight since the day we found them as tiny ferral kittens and Poppy his sister who is a Tortishell on White has always been solid and a bit heavier but still ok for her age

Perhaps my friend was being a bit economical with the truth and didn't want to admit that she overfeeds poor old Guiness:D

 

Hi Shiney

Lovely pics. Most feline disputes are more talk than anything else. But since Shiney is an elderly gent I would keep an eye on things. He doesn't exactly look malnourished but I think it's worth keeping other cats away from his food if you can. Cats won't eat well if they feel threatened or vulnerable.

My cat has now decided that he won't go out in the garden unless I clear the place of 'strangers' first. These include woodpigeons and magpies as well as other cats. If another mog tries to claim his favourite seat in the sun, he comes in and tells me to stop the other kids from bullying him.

 

Just made me think of the tabby cat thats adopted us ClaraLou,he's a bit of a bully :D he's been coming to our patio window for well over a year now just to wind Symba up, Symba's a very happy indoor cat, tabby fights with him through the window, saying that the fights a bit one sided, poor Symba hides behind the curtain till he thinks he's gone then sneaks out just to make sure , tabby then appears from nowhere and leaps at him just to make him jump, anyway middle of summer tabby started to look very thin, so yes I started feeding him, now he's here twice a day shouting for food, he's getting quite tame to at first he wouldn't come near me now he follows me round the garden, bit of a fighter though he's un neutered and has several war wounds so could never let him near Symba, although they did lay looking at each other like this for well over an hour the other day.

Sounds very like your story Shiney :D, these cats aren't daft are they.

 

Nice read. Just came across it. Agree with what has been said. Would underline the neutering of both. Why don't the other humans not believe in it.
Its better in the long run tempers roaming and fighting in general. Heavens knows we don't need more cat baby makers. Cute pictures, love tuxedo cats, look healthy.

 

Ahhhh. Good story.
