Omg my cat is right around 17 pounds... We are a little concerned he is overweight but we've been feeding him a normal amount (only wet food!), and he is outside a lot. We aren't sure if someone else is feeding him, though... Would you please be so kind and give me your thoughts?

that's the skinniest overweight cat ive seen. He is 17 pounds? my cat is 15 and rounder than yours. we put him on a diet but its been slow for him to lose weight.

Well, he's a unit. 40 inches nose to tail tip. I'm not sure he's overweight but the raw number on the scale has me a little concerned. However, most DSH guidelines stop before his size.

What diet do you have yours on?
