Hello !!!
Royal Canin do their own dry food.
Royal Canin Indoor cat food for cats that live indoors
If your not doing so already, I'd suggest paying special attention to how much kibble he's getting. It can be hard balancing the wet food with the dry food. It can be tempting to just put out however much it is they will eat but some times thats a bit too much.
The way I work it out is this.. 120g a day is the recommended average. If you divide that by three (as three is the recommended pouch amount). Thats roughly 40g of dry to substitute for a pouch. I weigh out 50g for each of mine at the start of each day. I mix it half with their first pouch and the other half of their kibble with their second pouch in the evening. I've been doing that for almost the past year. Though please bear in mind I have not had any one tell me I am doing it properly it just works for me and seems to make snese !
Have you tried getting him a treat ball? Instead of mixing the kibble in with teh food your kittie would have to work to get his crunchy food. They are really good I keep meaning to get one for my babies.
Look at the treats you are giving him too. Chocolate. Crisps. Chips. Noo no no. That might be a little treat to you or I but that has a huge amount of calories in it for a cat! Have you ever tried a raw treat, such as a chicken wing or a tiny bit of liver. These are a lot healthier for your cat than a shop bought treat. My old saying of a apple flavoured candy over an apple.
Cat trees are expensive but I think a really good investment. He will be able to have a full body work out doing what felines do best climb and reach hard to reach places.
I would advise not to go for the cheaper kibbles as I've read not so good things about the carbohydrates in them bloating cats up. Good quality drys tho like royal canin I think arn't at all as stodgey.
Well hope that helps. If not a kitty sized treadmill and a fitness DVD with an aerobic siamese might be good a idea.
!! NOTE !! Just to edit in - If you don't see any change or he seems to actually be continueing to put on weight I'd suggest getting some advice from your vets to rule out any medical conditions. Given his age though it sounds like more of a case of what he's eating over his actual health IMO.
!!NOTE!! Oh and one more thing. Felix has a minimum of 4% actual meat and I have read they use a lot of cereal (maize etc.) to fill out their food. So if you can maybe have a look at better quality foods (with less cereals and more actual meat). Royal canin do their own... Natures menu, Applaws to name a few.
