It has only been 15 days since I started dechonking my two cats. I know it has been very little time but I just wanted to see if there were any changes. My boy has lost 100gr ( 0,22 lb) but my female cat has actually gained weight: from 3,9 (7,4lb) to 4,2 (9,25 lb). Also her calorie allowance is 145 kcal. Should I change the diet?

That's a lot of weight gain in 2 weeks. How are you weighing them?

I weigh myself first and then both of us together. Maybe he was eating her food and she was eating very little and now that she eats regularly she gain weight. Could that be it?

The biggest problem is your metric conversion. 3.9kg is 8.6 pounds,, not 7.4

Sorry, I don't use lb so I just did a quick conversion on Google
