My furry eating machine is getting HUGE!  

He sounds like my dog Kobi. he will push his bowl around until it is full again. Kobi has gotten so big he is a keeshond he should not weigh 60 lbs I had to tell him that he is eating too much hehe. I only feed him once a day now. He doenst like it but he is getting back to his normal weight now. Good luck.

HI Cassandralynn; What a pretty kitty, you might have to get some sort of special diet cat food for him, or do talk to the vet again and see what they say, is he
neutered too??

That's funny what you said about him Nipping people to get your attention that he
wants his food and scooting the bowl across the floor...LOLOLOL!!

My Cat Minx is like that too, she's been sick though lately and has lost several
pounds I have her here with me know instead of out at the farm, you'll see
some posts I've done about her being sick and the stunts she's pulled since coming
here but I swear when she is well, she could easily eat a whole hog herself, she
can just finish up eating and turn around and expect more; I get to the point
where I just have to sorta BARK AT HER...to go lay down but right now while she
is recuperating I am glad she is buggin me for food even though I am limiting her
on what I give her, the vet doc said small feedings several times a day so that is
what I'm doing, no extra food she would love to eat any scraps of my food too
but I'm not doing that until she gets better, poor kitty;

Maybe he is storing up his food for the winter months ahead...LOL!

hi, here in Oz you can get a product from good pet shops called 'Science Diet'. It's a specially formulated dry pet food for cats. A1 nutritionally, it comes in several formulations from kittens to older animals, there is even one for a cat who might need to reduce. Check your local pet store, there might be a similar product made in the USA.

my cat xavier is half siamese and he is the same way!! (i have pics of him he is the white cat so you can see he is pretty big) he eats a ton.. he will REMIND YOU by howling if his bowl gets empty, isnt filled on time etc.. if you dare not go straight to feeding him when you wake up he will swarm you like a vulture like if you dont feed him he will eat you alive!! i figured it was because when we got him he was starved badly and he only eats dry food and not allowed anything else because he has a stomach problem that he makes stones if he eats anything other than his prescription food..

now that said he is the sweetest cat you will ever know.. just DONT MESS WITH HIS FOOD AND KEEP IT COMING! lol.. since im assuming your cat wasnt a stray to where he went hungry then i dont know if its normal for yours.. i dont think siamese are suppose to get heavy but im not sure.. i figure if they arent mine is only half so he must have some fat cat genes on his other half lol...

you might wanna take him to the vet just to get looked over.. some cats just get huge and muscular etc..

He's still growing and that is probably what is happening now, he's going through a growth spurt. As long as he's not getting fat and lazy I wouldn't worry. How much does he weigh" We have one that is 17 lbs, he's the largest we've ever had.
But as long as he's active I wouldn't worry. I would try to stop the swatting behavior, a squirt gun filled with water usually works for that.

I have a furry eating machine too. He always got a clean bill of health from the vet also but was told he is overweight. We now have him on a different kind of food intake and he has lost some weight and looks and feels alot better too. He still gets his fair share of treats though.

I feel that he is eating to much but then ya never know! I like that he pushes his bowl to you cute trick!

I think he is over growing he may eating to cover to his excess hunger don't worry one the summer comes he will stop eating and starts sleeping a lot because i don't own a cat but i have fat dog his name is micky he also does the same as your cat does and at time i also worried but late as the time goes on he was ok and his condition is fine now

Hi cassandralynn,



I think you will have to put your cat on a diet as it is bad for your cats heart if its carry on like that, why don't you just put little food in bowls all ove the house so he can nibble at it, I haver a female cat who wants to eat all day but since I have been doing that she is quite satisfied now and I also have a male cat but she don't eat as much but he does love bits from us when we are eating and she never used but latley she comes round for a bit of chicken or chops, she is very choosey though.

This sounds like a cat with character. I love him! How much does he weigh? My cat weighs 20 pounds which I think is huge but the vet says he is healthy. He eats everything he can get into his mouth. Usually, he is ver well mannered but I've noticed lately that he scatches the leg of anybody eating and not giving him a taste. A couple times he even reached up a swiped a morsel from my plate. Now this has to stop!
