Thread: Podgy Pets Leaflet!

Thank you all for the advice, it's much appreciated! I think that I will cut down his RC MC kibble (i.e. stop the husband feeding him). I did look at the instructions on the RC MC pack and we were giving him too much, plus an Applaws pouch each evening and the odd treat! I'm using the feeding guide on the pack for podgy cats and have stopped the treats for now. I'm also looking for a laser toy and am working on the fly workout.

At the moment he's out in the garden on his harness and the girls are taking more time to play with him. Fingers crossed he will loose a little bit, I'm tending to think 7kg sounds right. Not sure if the vets are used to maine coon's maybe I should ask next time I go and get him weighed!

Thank you candes - I will do that! Teddy and Nala sound so cute

I went to the Coontica show in Milton Keynes yesterday and took a good look at the lovely Maine Coons there. I can definitely confirm that Mufasa is a little bit 'podgy' but not that much in comparison to the other cats there. I think Candes you are right - he needs to loose a little bit of weight, but definitely not 2.5kg! I hadn't seen any other adult Maine Coon's in 'real life' before, they were magnificent.
