Poor kittays don't know when they're overeating cuz they're built to eat all they can in case their next meal isn't for a long time.

That said, belly belly belly bellyyy

It can be tricky with multiple cats too. We've got 4 and only 1 is a chonk like this. Once we stopped free feeding the group there was a riot and mutiny

I get that. Our cats eat on a schedule. The slower eater goes first, and the vacuum cleaner one does extra tricks to delay him more. The we watch them to prevent theft. It only takes about five minutes of our time. Or veterinarian tells us our cats are "lean and healthy; I wish all our patients looked this good." That, along with seeing them do parkour all over the house is more than enough to keep us on this path.

I don't think thats their belly. It's their primordial pouch.
