First, you should be asking your vet why he suggested your cat be on diet food. Obviously she or he thinks your cat is overweight. If that’s the case, have the vet tell you how much your cat weighs and how much it *should* weigh. You should be able to accomplish this with just a phone call.

Either way, toss the diet food. It not only doesn’t contain special nutrients, it’s really really bad food and no cat should eat it, fat or not.

If your cat needs to lose weight, see my blog for GOOD suggestions.

i do think diet food is not good for cats. it does not have special nutrients in it. if your cat is not fat then ask your vet why he/she told about giving diet food to your cat.

You should make sure your cat is at a healthy weight. If he’s not, you shouldn’t feed him diet food anyway. There are special nutrients in diet food, but other than that, it’s just regular cat food. Just make sure that your cat isn’t overweight and ask your vet.
