Seven months ago, I adopted an orange cat from someone else. When I brought him back, he was just 7 months old and weighted about 2 kilograms at that time. He was a cute boy, loving chasing mice, birds, and everything that appealed to him. Ordinarily I only feed him cat food and water. With the passage of time, 7 months have passed. Now he is getting lazier and lazier and weighs 6.5 kilograms. I'm afrad he will become too fat. What should I do for him?

Well I guess you need to limit the food you are giving him. 6.5 kilos is overweight for him.

@ilocosboy You're right. It's a really hard problem to handle.

It's no use trying to restrict his diet, because when he is hungry, he'll keep bothering me.

@Freewings Then I'm not sure how you could help him... Make sure he moves around a lot by playing with him?

@maclanis I'm going to feed him a lower-fat cat food instead and I hope it helps.

It's no use to feed him a little less. I live in the top floor and have a rooftop for him to play on.

You need to give him just the necessary amount of food for him to move around. I used to give my cat just little food, I think cats don´t need as much food as dogs do

That's quite a big cat you have... Maybe just control his food take.

That's not a good idea. When he is hungry, he will keep meowing at me.

Maybe you need to take him for a walk every day.

It's not a good idea because cat is wary of strange surroundings. He is easily frightened. Anyway, thank you for your suggestion.
