sHe goes outside I just waight her and is 10 to 15 pounds we don't know which one because every time we waight her it was different, i free feel i dont feed meals. i wil start feeding breakfast and dinner.Does she go outside at all? Do you have a human scale? If you do, weight yourself, then grab kitty, step back on the scale and figure out how much more you weigh after grabbing her.
Adult cats should be 12 pounds. Cats that are heavier can have serious health issues, and its over all, not good for them.
I would stop free feeding. If you feed her at night, and in the morning, that will help her loose weight.
Got it. It sounds like your doing a good job, some cats are just easy keepers. You could still feed her less though. We feed our two indoor outdoor cats about 2/3 cup a day. Thats a guess since we down actually measure it.Because she's down to a half cup a day of food, period. No treats, no human food, just cat food
Start with 1/3 cup at every morning and evening. That will also encourage her to run outside and hunt more, which is really healthy for their bodies. If you can, get a food scale to weight her. Those are very sensitive, and you'll be able to tell weight loss and gain by oz as well. I highly suggest getting a food scale, but if she's between 10-15lbs thats not to bad.sHe goes outside I just waight her and is 10 to 15 pounds we don't know which one because every time we waight her it was different, i free feel i dont feed meals. i wil start feeding breakfast and dinner.

Not in good consious. That half a cup a day is used when she's outside wandering around and keeping her warm in -30 nights in the winterGot it. It sounds like your doing a good job, some cats are just easy keepers. You could still feed her less though.
