I found that changing my brand of cat food turned my cat from
a skeleton, to a cat so heavy I can barely pick her 
up.  It takes about 2 weeks to really notice the weight change, but
the name of the food is Iams, and you have to go to pet stores to get
it.  Before that I was feeding her Purina cat chow, and after several
weeks of Iams I thought she was pregnant and rushed her to the vet.
(She wasn't pregnant - just fat.)  Iams cat food and Science Diet offer
many health benefits for cats that you might want to ask your vet or
pet store about.
