1. They both look pretty thin to me.
That's just my opinion.

2. Yes, because your cat is big
If its belly wobbles from side to side it's time for a diet.

3. You can say that again....
Diet I mean... I feed him as little as possible... he's still huge. It worries me.

6. My mom's cat is the same, and she eats normally.
I'll have to sneak in and get a picture of her to show you. I call her Jabba the Hut, which pisses my mom off.

I don't know of a condition that would cause a cat to be extremely obese without them displaying some obvious symptom of illness--you'd think if it was a tumor, they'd be ill. ??

8. This stuff really works, and your cat doesn't get hungry.

You can buy it here:

http://www.vetamerica.com/ferddry10lbs.html

One 10 lb bag should get your cat down near normal weight.

Start by mixing it 1/4 - 3/4 with regular food for a couple of days.

Then 1/2 & 1/2 for a couple of days.

The 3/4 - 1/4 for a couple of days.

Reverse as you are running out.

11. I added instructions and another link where you can buy it above.
I need to buy a bag of it every year for my fat cat. Sophie typically loses about 4-5 lbs (and gains a lot of energy) before the bag is through.

7. Do you have a Target nearby?
They carry a weight control powder for cats that has really helped my Jabbacat Miro shed a few pounds (it's in the pets section).
