We have one-Thor "Big Boy" who hit 20.5 lbs-my wife's "fault"-but he has been on a diet last 8 months-actually started at 19lbs-he is down to 16.5 lbs-dramatic improvement in "mood" bathroom habits(no idea why) looks and jumping ability. He still has a bit of a hitch in his walk-as if something was "damaged"
But cat on a diet-when the other 3 aren't- NO FUN! We crate him at night-and for feedings-so it makes it easier.
The Tunderkitten has lost a lot of weight over the past 7 years... she was rather obese and with a controlled diet that included raw and dry food she was at a healthy weight before the thyroid issues manifested.
Her food intake during this had to be increased and her energy level is really good for a grumpy old cat.. a big mistake that many people make is allowing their cat to eat any carbs as they are obligate carnivores and carbs mess them up really badly.
