    Yes, they do make diet food but I wouldn't necessarily call it good..lol. It just has extra filler in it that your cat's body has to process. Just feed the cat less. If the other cats are getting half cup a day, this cat may only need 1/3 cup a day, or something like that. Feed her separately from the others and let everyone out again when they're done eating.

    Yes there is diet food.

    Put that cat in a seperate room from the others when she is eating her food and close the door so that the other cats don't get in.

    However, I have the same problem with my cat and diet food does not work.

    Exercise is generally the problem! Play with your cat more!

    Get a catnip infused ball for your cat to play with. (THE BEST)

    Get the cat a scratching post.

    Anything to get your cat moving!

    Health benefits of weight loss

    Studies show that overweight women who lose between 10lb and 20lb halve their risk of developing diabetes. For men, the risk of heart problems reduces considerably.

    Generally, we gain weight as we age. A few pounds over the years are not a problem, but people who gain more than 20lb compared to their weight as an 18-year-old will rapidly increase their risk of health problems due to that extra weight. In particular, women increase their risk of heart attack and double their risk of dying from cancer.

    It may seem like these are problems to worry about in the future, but time flies by and tomorrow becomes today. By keeping your weight in the healthy range, you're less likely to be troubled by illnesses in your later years.

    Your cat might have diabetes, take it to the vet so you can be sure and so the vet could give it the right diet and everything!
