Luck Cat
Has anyone ever actually had luck getting there cat or dog to lose weight?
If so, how?
Yeah, I foster cats and have gotten quite a few fosters and my own adopted cats to lose weight..
All I do is switch them off of dry food and onto canned food and then my own homemade raw diet..
Cat’s are obligate carnivores and they aren’t that active in the wild. Have you ever seen a fat tiger? No, and they hardly exercise at all. They sleep anywhere from 14-16 hours a day. Obviously then, a lack of exercise is probably not the problem with a domestic cat. That’s why you really have to look at the difference in diet between a domestic cat and a wild cat. A wild cat eats whole prey animals. Most domestic cat foods are made largely of carbohydrates from plant matter. Obviously that’s not natural for them and is a big part of why you see so many obese cats.
All of my cats and dogs have a nice waistline now.. Dogs though are a lot more active then cats, with them you need both a diet change (more carnivore appropriate) and exercise..
It was really easy though, didn’t really require any extra effort. I just threw out the dry food and a couple months on canned food and raw and they were healthy as can be.. They do get very excited about their meals now though. Back when I fed dry they’d kinda sniff at the bowl and walk around it, now the whole group is one yowling excited bunch of carnivores. Reminds me of watching National Geographic lions circling a kill.. lol
Here’s a good article on making cat food..

I couldn’t afford to feed everyone canned long term. If I would’ve known, I would have had less cats so that it would be more affordable. By the time I learned about the problems dry foods cause I already had 5 cats. Thanks to shopping around a lot and buying in bulk, I can make about 100 lbs of dog and cat food for around $60. They eat a lot less of it too then they ate of the dry food, so I actually pay a little less then I paid for the higher grade dry food I used to buy.. But, I have cats and dogs that have healthy waistline and I no longer have urinary tract flare-ups with my cats..

The rough translation for Korat is ‘Good Fortune.’ Going way back into history, the earliest mention of a Korat comes in the form of a book of poems produced sometime between 1350 and 1767. Like many breeds, it has its share of folk tales and legends associated with it. One particular piece of folklore claims that if your Korat has kinks in its tale, it will bring you increased good luck. A native of Thailand, the Si-Sawat, as it is called there, is highly revered and honored, and at one time was only owned by royalty and members of the government. The Korat was slow to emigrate from its native Thailand, only reaching North America and Europe in the late 1960s.
They have a particularly romantic description of the Korat, which goes as follows: “The cat has a body color like Dok Lao. The hairs are smooth, with roots like clouds and tips like silver. The eyes shine like dewdrops on the lotus leaf.” In case you are wondering, Dok means flower, and Lao is an herb similar to lemongrass, with silver-tipped flowers.
A gentle cat that loves to play, but abhors loud noises, probably because of its exceptional hearing capabilities, the Korat is sweet and very affectionate, making it an excellent cat to have around children. It has a keen sense of sight and smell.
When you gaze upon your Korat pets, with their highly expressive faces, you could almost swear that you know exactly what is running through their minds. Korats are very observant, watching all that you do and trying to duplicate it as well. With total loyalty, love, and respect, they will have you believing, without a doubt, that they know exactly what is going through your mind. Korats will race around a mile a minute just to keep up with you and are always ready to lend a helping paw with whatever you happen to be doing. They don’t necessarily want to be all over you all the time, but they do like to be involved. Curious and indeed possessive, Korats will investigate anything that comes into your home, whether it’s people or things, and do not be surprised if you find that they have confiscated everything, including your friends and family.
The Korat’s coloring is unlike that of any other breed of cat. Silver-tipped blue, it has a shimmering effect that actually gives off an aura. The Thais call this color “rain cloud gray” topped with sea foam. They have large, luminous eyes that begin as golden-green when kittens but change to a beautiful peridot green as they reach adulthood.
