   My cat Ariel is too fat. I'm afraid that she is going to die! It takes her like 5 tries just to jump on the couch! What should I do

   If you are feeding dry food stop feeding it; it makes cats fat and does nothing to help them lose wieght. Instead try to start feeding canned food. If she will eat it thats great (you can't let a fat cat go more than 18 hours without eating so if she won't eat the wet you may have to give dry for that day).

   The best wet food is going to be grain free and low carb but any wet food should do. Try to avoid wet food with meat by-products as the first ingrediant; meat by-products can legally be dead cats/dogs from shelters.

   Here is a great link: http://www.catinfo.org/feline_obesity.htm

   What food are you feeding? Do you have set feeding times? How much would Ariel's healthy wieght be?

   you will have to feed her less...and not give in to her begging! It's hard but you have to be tough. Also try and encourage exercise. I use the red laser light for Wicket...he loves chasing it. Cats lose weight very slowly...so don't rush it
