My next door neighbor called Chilly fat.

Chilly is in his favorite sun spot right in front of our living room window. My next door neighbor was talking to my husband, and called Chilly 'a fat cat', when he saw him in the window. Made me smile. We want him to keep a healthy weight for as long as we can. Hoping he lives a few more years.

Weight management can be difficult for cats with kidney deices. So it's good Chilly had some eight on him. And it's where it should be, so.

Yeah. I know by petting him everyday he's at a healthy weight. Further confirmed by our vet a month ago. So, it's nice to hear 'fat cat'.

@CarolDM That's great. It means her kidneys are still very functional.

@kaylachan That is great. Seems like Brendel is still at 6 pounds. She is still eating the same and drinking plenty of water.

I wish all the best to Chilly. I have a chair by the window in my workroom, and it is sunny in the afternoons right there; my cats Michelle, Ringo, and Sydney lot to lie there, but they all can't get on at once, so they take turns. Always makes me chuckle,

I love to watch Chilly sun himself. He also knows when its time to settle in for the night, too.

My cat Bond looks chubby after he has been fed nice meals from my relatives and myself feeding him and his partners at home.

Most healthy cats do. There are things you can feel or look for to ensure they aren't gaining to much.

@kaylachan You are right since my relatives and myself try to use the right food for them to eat.

No. It's a good thing. Chilly has chronic kidney deices. His kidneys are starting to fail. We don't really want him to start losing weight. And, as a pet parent it can be hard to be objective. Knowing that he's doing well, and someone noticed he's 'fat' means we're doing something right.

Does it really look fat? I haven't seen Chilly in his recent photo.
