Hi Catherine

I would suggest trying Royal Canin Satiety Support - if you send me a private message I will arrange this for you

It might be worth trying one of those automatic feeder things (I'm assuming you can still get them) so that it could be set to feed a meal during the night. I haven't used anything other than r/d on cats, but have always found that my biggest problem after owner compliance has been the cats supposedly being hungry. However, I do wonder how often these cats are actually hungry, as they always seem to be cats that scoff all of their food in one go, I've never had this problem with grazers.

Is the kibble size smaller/bigger than r/d?

Brilliant - I think this may be the next logical step. Thank you. Have gone down the usual route I take with my cat patients, and this one has got me flummoxed to say the least.

I changed a hungry cat from r/d to royal canin satiety with great success. Cat no longer pestures for food and has lost 1kg over first few months. Its owners are very happy!

Purina is really good. We stock this and i was previously at a rcw practice. Om with dogs is really good. I've had a little less luck with cats but they eat it well.. I hunk I just generally struggle with my cat weight watchers more. But overall it is still good. I have found a mix of wet and dry on works best

Not had much to do with Purina - is it a good food?

Just looking at feed balls. Just read that Royal Canin had brought back the bags of satiety. Think I may try that.

Prawn parcels work well to get cats exercising. Wrap them in brown paper and tie them with string.

maybe try royal canin satiety? gives that fuller feeling for longer

use the feedng balls so he has to work for th food

play hide and seek with the food again so he has to work for it
