Help cat lose weight!?

[madmonahan]

I think my cat has nipple cheese but I don't know for shore....I heard it can happen when a cat is overweight and can't reach his belly to clean it. He is a little overweight but I don't know how I would put him on a diet because he is in during the day and out at night! We have 4 other cats outside so when I put him out he would eat all that food so it wont help. And I can NOT keep him in all day and night! He get very.....CRAZY!!!

I dont know what to do.....he eats everything he can! From human food to dog food! Of course I keep him away from those as best I can. Please help! Any suggestions??

Many human food is high in fat and dog food has grains and vegtables in it cats are oure carnivores.

Oh I know! Just when I'm eating he tries to eat my food! Of COURSE I push him away....but the only thing he does is sleep and eat, sleep and eat! He wasn't as fat until we went on a trip and my friend took care of the animals. She would fill his bowl to the top everytime! And I had told her NOT TO THE TOP! I just put it halfway and he eats it in 30 min! He's like a betta :/ doesn't know when to stop....

Cats can be trained to use leashes.
