Yup! That's what the vet said about my cat the Tux. "No more weight gain", while she checked his (very clean ) ears, his teeth, his bright eyes and seemingly calm temper. He weighed a whopping 6.33 kg! She admitted that he was a big cat and tough too. "Bigger than some dogs!" she cooed at him and took his temperature the errr..usual way. OUCH! I can feel his pain as he came closer to me, hiding his face under my arm. Poor thing! Maybe it was just embarrassment. She then gave him his shots and he immediately turned around and HISSED at her. Twice. WOAH! It was a good thing her hands were not anywhere on him and mine was just under his neck - well away from the very sharp teeth and the equally lethal claws. The vet assistant came with his carrier and we succeeded in gently coaxing the still hissing cat into it where he promptly calmed down. Well he had made his point quite clear. :)) Then he got sick for 2 days. and didn't eat anything much. I wonder if this would go into him losing weight. Not much possibly. I forgot to ask the vet how to put him on diet so went to the net and read up on diets and cats. It seemed there is little to be done except less food and more exercise. Hmmmm...now where is that toy Da Bird.... THAT toy works wonders on any cat and he loves it. So possibly it won't be such an uphill task after all...
