Adam Hominem -- Well, he's not quite three, so he hasn't packed on the post-adolescent pounds, just yet.
He and Curly both eat (and prefer) Purina Kitten Chow. It has more chicken bits than corn. It's amazing how many feeds have as their #1 ingredient = corn.
The only objection the vet might have is if Charley has kidney problems. Kitten Chow is higher in protein, and thus not recommended in cases of kidney issues.
Or... if the vet is hooked into Hill's, et al, they may steer you towards something like that.
However, if there's a good, low-cal alternative that is nutritious, and has the trace elements essential to good kitteh health (Google is yer friend!), I wouldn't dismiss those suggestions, out-of-hand. .

What a beautiful boy.
And in good shape, too.
My Charley is too fat--what are you feeding LE?

Cats shouldn't be eating so much corn.

I remember you mentioning the Kitten Chow, now.
I think I'm going to ask the vet about it. Charley really needs to shed a few pounds.
I wouldn't mind so much but sometimes he can't reach his butt to clean it, and Dad has to step in, which he doesn't like, and neither does Dad.

Thanks, JP.
I need to start paying more attention to what the boy is eating, and less to what is first in the aisle at PetSmart.
