He is cute. Did not look that fluffy in the other pic.
The picture of him on the toolbox was before he went on the diet, he's now been on it for I think a year, stopped really losing weight and is staying the same now, he used to have full access to unlimited food all the time so being fed once in the morning and once at night isn't "good enough" for his royal cat-ness.

My lab would be so fat she'd probably be unable to walk if I let her free feed. My little dog used to free feed when no issue. It's crazy how different animals react so different to the same situation.

I think it's also what they've been through, he was dropped off near our house and starving living on his own outside, so I think the free food all the time inside made him think he still needed to eat everything because who knew if he'd eat again soon. It got I to the point where head eat so much so fast he'd be sick then go back to eating... I've heard of dogs doing that but never cats, it was awful and I think it's why my mum finally decided he needed to be fed less.

My dog is the same way. He and his brothers were found emaciated full of parasites in a box on the side of the road. I swear he has PICA and will eat anything and everything.
