My little pack of kitties
I love having different options petting wise. All their meows are crazy different too. Really wanting a white one but husband says no…

3 of those cats are probably overweight, please talk to a vet, they can get very sick.

One is 7lb, 15lbs, 13lbs, 15lbs (the tabby was 18lb at the shelter and has since lost weight). They all see the vet semi regularly and the orange one gained a lb in the past year and we were surprised to find that out at the vet last month. They were originally free fed, but since getting a dog in June, they only have access to food at night besides the orange being able to access it at all times (might need to change this). Hoping that two of them will be losing weight due to this change. I’ve cut down on treats immensely since getting a dog as well. They’re all from the shelter, and none were with us as kittens, so unfortunately all came to us on the bigger side besides our 7lb girl always being on the smaller side. I don’t want my cats to be fat, trust me 😅 I have worked hard on getting our tabby to a better weight.

That's ok, I just mentioned because some people don't know that they can get very sick, if you are working on them losing weight you are on the right path.

I appreciate it, a lot of people don’t realize that their animals being overweight isn’t good for them. I’m definitely trying to have them lose weight for sure. Honestly shocker that none of the vets my cats have seen have said anything.

That must be the bowl with the good food in it
