I've read time and again that you can't overfeed a kitten. Welp I'm not sure that's true because my little girl is positively plump.

Peaches is almost 6 months old. She's a sweet little girl. Very affectionate. But she likes her food.

I've been free feeding her as she's still a baby. Then I noticed that I was refilling her bowl more and more often. Then one day I was petting her and noticed that she is positively fat.

I'm 62 and have had cats my entire life. I've always free fed them. I only had one overweight cat and he had health problems. I just don't have experience with a cat who overeats.

Should I stop the free feeding? Put her on a diet? Ignore it until she is an adult? Any idea?

My sweet Gracie had dementia and was euthanized in January. Last month my daughter handed me a bag with a gift inside.

She had a friend paint a picture of her for me. She even got her little blind eyes right.

It's my most treasured belonging.
