It’s best to assess your cats weight by it’s body condition and not compared to other cats.

Here’s a chart to help you do that…

http://www.purina.com/cats/health/BodyCondition.aspx

Once you determine if your cat is overweight, you need to be aware that there is NO such thing as dry “diet” food for cats. Dry foods are filled with carbs that make your cat fat. You can’t make a dry food without carbs, so there are no dry diet foods.

The proper amount to feed per cat/per day should be about 5.5 ounces of wet (high quality grain free canned or Raw Meat/Bones/Organ) food.

The calories in that amount of food are sufficient for most “normal” sized cats. Of course a highly energetic cat will need more food to keep it healthy, and a lazy cat will need less food to keep it from getting obese. But 5.5 ounces of wet food per day is a good place to start.

Here is a fantastic site that will help you help your cat lose weight!

you should give it good food and play with it as much as possible so that it will jump around and lose weight but dont stop feeding it or it may run away! and im sure you dont want that but feed it less and play more that should help i hope!

You can give her healthyer food. If you use dry food you can scatter it around and hide it so that she has to look for it. It will also make her less bored. Play with her more is also a good idea.
