I've got several overweight... everyone jokes at how big all of our cats are. We have one boy - Rudy - who is 24lbs! He's a big boy... his brother is close at about 18lbs... so I worry about them the most. I also use kitty wipes... we have a spinabifida baby kitty who wears diapers so we have lots of wipes!
Thanks for your input!

Hey Leslie,
I have a kitty who is overweight and she has this
problem from time to time. One good sign is when her
little butt is red. I usually use kitty wipes to help
clean her about once a week, and so far she hasn't had
a problem in months. I just try to keep ahead of it.

To leave the world a better place - whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or an improved social condition - that is to have succeeded. That only one life breathed easier because you lived - that is success.
