Hello!

My wee Orion has just turned 1 years old, so I started to cut back his food as recommended by the vet as he’s now an adult. He’s not too happy about this, but despite cutting back he’s still a whopping 5.5kg.

hes always been a solid chunky cat even as a kitten, but I’m worried about his weight. I’d like to feed him more as he’s clearly looking for it, but don’t want him to end up overweight. Any advice?

At the moment he gets two aluminium trays and one Whiskas pouch. I leave a wee handful of biscuits out overnight, but he honestly hates them.

I’ve tried condition scoring him but it’s really hard.

Hey fellow cat lovers -
I am new to the cat loving society. We got my eldest a kitty a few months ago and well I’ve claimed him (or he’s claimed me). I love him so much I never knew I was a cat person, I feel sad that I never knew this about my self and that I have had many wasted years without a cat in my life 🤣. They really are the best. Our boy is 6 months old, has the strangest personality loves water, is more like a dog follows you round wants to know where I am at all times. If I’m in the bath or shower he tries to get in. He takes regular showers under our kitchen sink 😂. He wakes me up at 6 am every day sat on my chest and licking my face (not always ideal). He makes me lift him to his food by giving me a strange meow/humming noise (he can get there himself, which he does if I’m not around 🙄). He is best friends with our dog and they play like puppies wrestle each other and chase each other, both greet us at the door whenever we come home (so cute).
We have no idea what type of cat he is. He is very big for his age 3 lbs heavier than your average kitty at that age (we don’t over feed him and he isn’t fat). The vet asked if he was part Maine coon (that would be cool, not sure though) . He is registered as a domestic long haired, don’t mind what he is as he is puurfect. I have so much love for cats now, how did I not know ? ❤❤
