I have a (female) he chomnk. We take her to the vet's annually to hear "welllll, ideally I would like her to lose a pound or two ... but I don't think she's at terrible risk for diabetes."
Thank you, sir. Because she's already a menace leading up to mealtimes, and our lives would be at terrible risk if we put her on a diet.
I noticed you said mealtimes. We switched our cat to a single feeding at night, and she has been sooo much better. It actually allowed us to get her weight under control. She was at like 15-16 lbs and now down to slightly under 12. She was struggling to clean her back, so her coat got pretty oily, and that's when we did some research and found that many cats do a lot better on a single feeding.
