10. My vet said it is healthier for the cat to eat only wet food (canned, home prepared, whatever.)

She said kibble is likely to make the cat gain weight. You might have to try several brands and/or flavors of canned food to find out which ones your cat likes. Trial and error.

And I agree with earlier posts. Don't free feed. Feed the cat twice a day at the same times. Whatever the cat doesn't eat within a half hour or so, remove.

I'm struggling with a chubby 18 month old. I have 4 cats in the house, one of whom is old and blind, so it makes it harder to isolate the fat kitten to keep him from eating the old blind cat's food. Sigh. It's a good thing we love the little monsters.

Best of luck to you and your tubby kitty.
