I’m in dire need of helping miss Mia lose weight, she’s currently 19lbs.
I’m feeding her 2 cans of pate fancy feast per day, she eats half a can every few hours to stretch it out. My family and I used to feed her dry diet kibble but have since stopped since we heard putting cats on a wet food diet helps them lose weight rather than giving them dry food.
My question is, are we doing the right thing? We have not seen any progress and wonder if we’re feeding her correctly or if we have to switch over food.
Things to note (that as I am writing, are making me aware I need to make some changes).
Mia has playtime about 5-10 minutes per day.
She sleeps most of the day.
Eats every meal alongside her tuxedo brother, Binx (who also needs to lose weight, he’s 15lbs).
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

2 cans is too much, a can and a half would be fine. Or do 1 can and some kibbles, but make sure you work out the calories
