  • We introduced you to Patches last week, when the very overweight cat was adopted. Patches' new owner said she's joining him on his weight-loss journey.

      It is animal abuse. It is shameful. Whoever fed this cat into morbid obesity should at the very least be fined substantially. Whoever did this has to be mentally unstable for sure. It is not funny or cute. It is outrageous.

      @@darkprincessandthereptilia9618 You can't eat what is not in front of you. The cat didn't get into the car, drive himself to the store, purchase food, drive himself back home and eat ALL of it (surely he would have gotten pulled over by the police at least once). The cat didn't threaten 'feed me or else (his paw couldn't hold a gun or knife properly). The cat can barely walk! A human did this and it is abuse. It is your job as a pet owner to feed it correctly, portion the amount of food in order to be healthy. If you have a very obese toddler (I've seen some) who is at fault? The child or parent? It is the fault of the one providing the food.

      @@darkprincessandthereptilia9618 That's NOT true. Cats only get obese when they are fed improperly. Just like us, they require mealtimes that they would often get depending on their colony or mother's needs (which would usually be during dusk and dawn) -- but since they cannot get this naturally as pets, WE have to make the mealtimes for them. Cats should be eating wet food 2-3 times a day, depending on how many calories they need based on their bodyweight/height/spay status/etc. But what many people do is that they leave out dry food for their cats 24/7 and this leads to dehydration, kidney disease, diabetes, and obviously obesity. I've had to rehabilitate fat cats, and they don't even need to go on extreme diets or anything of the sorts, they literally just need to eat properly and not meat-flavoured cereal that is always acessible to them (dry food).

DO NOT LET YOUR PETS GET LIKE THIS! IT IS ANIMAL CRUELTY! he became sicker and sicker and we humanely euthanized him.

    My Liam was diagnosed as a diabetic (he was over 22 lbs) back in Jan 2022. I had already been on a long journey myself to go into diabetic remission. What was cool was in July 2022 we both went into diabetic remission together (he is down to 18 lbs 9 oz as of Feb 2023). His vet doesn't think he will lose much more weight (his body shape means he is a very tall and long cat...so 17 1/2 to 18 1/2 lbs is healthy for him). He was able to stop insulin (and I stopped the last of my diabetes medication). So we keep each other in check :)

    I thought my Abbey was a chubby cat at 22 lbs when I adopted her! I had to sign a contract with the rescue organization that I would keep her on her much needed diet! She would only eat kibble as that's all she was ever given.
    My vet suggested a new diet kibble- Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Fiber Response that is a prescription kibble. Kind of pricey at $67/ bag but because it's full of Fiber she doesn't eat as much so it comes down to the same price of the other diet kibble! She LOVES it!

      NICE! God bless you & Abbey!! I would suggest getting her a water fountain and/or supplementing with packet of Hydra Care every day because kitties who only eat dry are prone to kidney issues especially as they age. They can never drink enough water to compensate... mine were on 100% can cat food which I still had to water down, adding water & processing it every day, PLUS they had a cat fountain PLUS the hydra care (with the last one)... they lived to 18.5 yrs and almost 19 yrs (both had Chronic kidney disease, but managed well) my favorite fountain was the ipettie ceramic drinking fountain from amazon.. its pricey but better than others I've tried. There is also a prescription can food by the same company that you might try (gastrointestinal biome) sounds like she is doing fabulous for you... great job, Cat Mama!

    We adopted an 8yr old cat a few years ago and at the time of adoption he was overweight at about 18lbs. We named him Hank "the tank". You could tell he was once even more overweight because he has very saggy belly folds and a big, exposed nipple/areola area despite being a male. We have gotten him to lose a couple more pounds but wow has it been a lot of work! We have to watch every little nibble that goes into him (he is a sneaky one and learned how to rig the auto feeder machine to give him more), and diet food didn't seem to really help...what helped the most was giving him good quality food that was high in protein and fats interestingly. He loses more weight eating less regular food that is high quality than specific diet food. He can be persuaded to exercise a little bit here and there, but he isn't into the endurance games with that lol. Definitely going to ensure he continues to lose weight because it is so noticeable how every extra pound weighs him down and puts him at risk for diabetes and a slew of other health issues. Although I think he might need a girdle to help him with those loose skin folds as he continues to lose those belly pounds!

    We had a large cat 23lbs in my mom's house. She had him on a strict diet and he kept growing bigger, at 27.8 lbs we figured it out. He was eating every mouse in the house, there was a bad problem and nobody knew because he was so good at catching them. Occasionally we'd find a part of a mouse but had no idea there were 30+ running around at any one time. Watching this cat run up stairs reminded me of a hook and ladder fire truck, its not supposed to go as fast as it does. You can see the cat after I had him on a diet in a mouse free home by searching for PUFFY THE 20LB CAT.

    To let a cat get this size is animal abuse. Someone should have put the brakes on his eating when he was at 22 pounds. My boy was at 22 pounds and he waddled down the hallway and barely wanted to get up and move. He's lost several pounds simply doing what many humans do to lose weight. Intermittent fasting!! Yes, it works for animals too!! I also took him off dry food. He now gets around like a kitten again and is having more fun and enjoyment!!

    May he soon reach his goal weight for a long and healthy life! Mine just passed away at the age of almost 19 yrs! He would have never lived that long if he had been as heavy as this cat. In fact he was very slender his whole life, he may have been around 9 or 10 lbs at his heaviest... but was just under 5 lbs when he died, having lost 1.5 lb quite quickly near the end. (He was hyperthyroid but near the end wasn't absorbing his medicine as well.) The heart on Patches nose at 1:58 melted my heart.. on another note, at 0:32 there is a tiny cat (or cat shaped figurine) in the background... weird place for a figurine but its not moving so I don't think it's a real cat... anyone have any thoughts?
